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.

NCBI database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGap) (tool)

RRID:SCR_002709

Database developed to archive and distribute clinical data and results from studies that have investigated interaction of genotype and phenotype in humans. Database to archive and distribute results of studies including genome-wide association studies, medical sequencing, molecular diagnostic assays, and association between genotype and non-clinical traits.

Gene Expression Profiling in Spinal Cord Injury (tool)

RRID:SCR_003260

Database 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.

Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) (tool)

RRID:SCR_007303

Functional genomics data repository supporting MIAME-compliant data submissions. Includes microarray-based experiments measuring the abundance of mRNA, genomic DNA, and protein molecules, as well as non-array-based technologies such as serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) and mass spectrometry proteomic technology. Array- and sequence-based data are accepted. Collection of curated gene expression DataSets, as well as original Series and Platform records. The database can be searched using keywords, organism, DataSet type and authors. DataSet records contain additional resources including cluster tools and differential expression queries.
