Tracing the development of acute myeloid leukemia in CBL syndrome.

چکیده
We describe the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in an adult with CBL syndrome caused by a heterozygous de novo germline mutation in CBL codon D390. In the AML bone marrow, the mutated CBL allele was homozygous after copy number-neutral loss-of-heterozygosity and amplified through a chromosomal gain; moreover, an inv(16)(p13q22) and, as assessed by whole-exome sequencing, 12 gene mutations (eg, in CAND1, NID2, PTPRT, DOCK6) were additionally acquired. During complete remission of the AML, in the presence of normal blood counts, the hematopoiesis stably maintained the homozygous CBL mutation, which is reminiscent of the situation in children with CBL syndrome and transient juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia. No additional mutations were identified by whole-exome sequencing in granulocytes during complete remission. The study highlights the development of AML in an adult with CBL syndrome and, more generally, in genetically aberrant but clinically inconspicuous hematopoiesis.

Background: Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) with translocation (3,3) is a form of AML that may present de novo or may arise from a previous myelodysplastic syndrome. It is often associated with normal or elevated peripheral blood platelet count and increased bone marrow megakaryocytes with associated multi lineage dysplasia. A subset of patients present with hepatosplenomegaly while a few cases h...

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is blood and bone marrow malignancy. Low-density oxidative lipoprotein (oxLDL) is a pro-inflammatory factor that has free radicals in its structure. OxLDL levels are also rising in diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers. Studies have shown that oxLDL and dyslipidemia are more common in patients with various cancers. This stud...
