Clinics and Pathology
Disease
Acute myelogenous leukemia, Therapy-related MDS (RAEB, RAEB-t)
Phenotype stem cell origin
myeloid, positive for CD34, 33, 13, HLA-DR.
Etiology
either therapy-related or de novo

Table 1

Leukemic cells have characteristics of type II myeloblasts with numerous granules. Several large nucleoli are seen in nuclei.(Wright-Giemmsa staining)(x 1,000)
Genes Involved and Proteins
Gene name
NUP98 (nucleoporin 98 kDa)
Location
11p15.4
Note
The NUP98 gene is fused to a number of genes through chromosomal translocation. The breakpoints in NUP98 gene span six introns (intron 9-14). Of particular notice, one type of translocation occurs in a specific intron. As for t(11;20), all four cases have the breakpoint in intron 13 of NUP98 gene.

Gene name
TOP1 (topoisomerase (DNA) 1)
Location
20q12

Protein description
Topoisomerase 1 is a ca.100 kDa protein with 765 amino acids; contains NLS in the N-term, a core domain which recognizes its binding sequences, a link domain which connects the core and catalytic domains, and the catalytic domain in the C-term.
Result of the Chromosomal Anomaly

Structural diagrams of NUP98, TOP1, and fused chimeras. Fused protein has N-terminal of NUP98, which contains two FG repeats, and the core, link and catalytic domains of TOP1. Gene product of TOP1/NUP98 (150kD) has been demonstrated, but the fused protein of TOP1/NUP98 has not been examined.
Oncogenesis
NUP98-TOP1 fusion protein has been proved to be leukemogenic in mice.
