To define the mutation spectrum in non-Down syndrome acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (non-DS-AMKL), we performed transcriptome sequencing on diagnostic blasts from 14 pediatric patients and validated our findings in a recurrency/validation cohort consisting of 34 pediatric and 28 adult AMKL samples. Our analysis identified a cryptic chromosome 16 inversion (inv(16)(p13.3q24.3)) in 27% of pediatric cases, which encodes a CBFA2T3-GLIS2 fusion protein. Expression of CBFA2T3-GLIS2 in Drosophila and murine hematopoietic cells induced bone morphogenic protein (BMP) signaling and resulted in a marked increase in the self-renewal capacity of hematopoietic progenitors. These data suggest that expression of CBFA2T3-GLIS2 directly contributes to leukemogenesis.

View all literature mentionsDatabase which provides on-line searching of microarray datasets generated from rat spinal cord after contusion injury. Both the primary injury site and a site 5 mm distal to the injury site were assayed. Tissue was obtained from Long Evans rats subject to spinal cord contusion injury using the MASCIS impactor (formerly known as the NYU impactor). RNA expression was assayed at the site of injury and distal to the site of injury using the Affymetrix Rat Neuro U34 chip.
