Abstract
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a confirmatory test to establish a diagnosis of inv(16)/t(16;16) AML. However, incidental findings and their clinical diagnostic implication have not been systemically studied. We studied 1629 CBFB FISH cases performed in our institution, 262 (16.1%), 1234 (75.7%), and 133 (8.2%) were reported as positive, normal, and abnormal, respectively. The last included CBFB copy number changes (n = 120) and atypical findings such as 3'CBFB deletion (n = 11), 5'CBFB deletion (n = 1), and 5'CBFB gain (n = 1). Correlating with CBFB-MYH11 RT-PCR results, totally 271 CBFB rearrangement cases were identified, including five with discrepancies between FISH and RT-PCR due to new partner genes (n = 3), insertion (n = 1), or rare CBFB-MYH11 variant (n = 1) and eight with 3'CBFB deletion. All cases with atypical findings and/or discrepancies presented clinical diagnostic challenges. Correlating FISH signal patterns and karyotypes, additional chromosome 16 aberrations (AC16As) show impacts on the re-definition of a complex karyotype and prognostic prediction. The CBFB rearrangement but not all AC16As will be detected by NGS-based methods. Therefore, FISH testing is currently still needed to provide a quick and straightforward confirmatory inv(16)/t(16;16) AML diagnosis and additional information related to clinical management.

[PMID: 32015759 PMCID: PMC6990480 DOI: 10.1186/s13039-020-0474-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2019] [Accepted: 01/20/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Abnormalities of chromosome 16 are found in about 5–8% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The AML with inv(16)(p13.1q22) or t (16;16)(p13.1;q22) is associated with a high rate of complete remission (CR) and favorable overall survival (OS) when treated with high-dose Cytarabine. At the inversion breakpoints, deletion of 3’CBFB has been reported, but most of them were studied by chromosome and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses. The genomic characteristics of such deletions remain largely undefined, hindering further understanding of the clinical significance of the deletions. Case presentation We report here two AML cases with inv(16) and deletion of the 5’MYH11/3’CBFB gene fusion, which were characterized by chromosome, FISH, and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarray analyses. Both cases have achieved CR for more than three years. Conclusions Deletion of 3’CBFB in AML with inv(16) is also accompanied with deletion of 5’MYH11 in all the cases studied by SNP microarray, suggesting that 3’CBFB and 5’MYH11 were most likely deleted together as a fusion product of inv(16) instead of occurring separately. In concert with the findings of other published studies of similar patients, our study suggests that deletion of 5’MYH11/3’CBFB in AML with inv(16) may not have negative impact on the prognosis of the disease.

Abstract
The presence of two different abnormal cell lines at diagnosis in hematologic malignancies is rare and raises the question of etiology and pathogenesis--two separate malignant lineages occurring together or a common stem cell malignancy? We present a 64-year-old woman who was evaluated for low platelet count and peripheral blasts. On the basis of the morphology, flow cytometry, and lack of myeloid-associated markers, a diagnosis of precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) was made. Cytogenetic analysis of the diagnostic bone marrow (BM) specimen revealed two unrelated abnormal clones--one had a dicentric (7;9)(p11;p11), resulting in the deletion of 7p and 9p, and the other had only trisomy 8. The dic(7;9) is a rare but recurrent abnormality in B-ALL, while trisomy 8 as a sole abnormality is most commonly associated with myeloid malignancies. After standard treatment for B-ALL, BM cytogenetic analysis showed disappearance of the dic(7;9) cell line but persistence of cells with trisomy 8. The presence of two unrelated clones suggestive of concomitant malignancies, possibly B-ALL with an underlying MDS, may have arisen by different mechanisms.

Acute myeloid leukemia with inv(16) with CBFB-MYH11, 3'CBFB deletion, variant t(9;22) with BCR-ABL1, and del(7)(q22q32) in a pediatric patient: case report and literature review. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2010; 200:54-9. [PMID: 20513535 DOI: 10.1016/j.cancergencyto.2010.03.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2009] [Revised: 02/12/2010] [Accepted: 03/03/2010] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Coexistence of inv(16) and t(9;22) is a rare chromosomal aberration, one that has been described in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), mainly in myeloid blast crisis, and de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Approximately 14 cases have been reported, including only 1 pediatric case. Here we present the case of a 13-year-old boy with a new diagnosis of AML with some features of monocytic differentiation. Conventional cytogenetic analyses on unstimulated blood showed three related abnormal clones with inv(16) in the stemline: 46,XY,inv(16)(p13.1q22)[2]/46,idem,del(7)(q22q32)[16]/46,idem,t(9;22;19)(q34;q11.2;p13.1)[2]. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies on interphase nuclei and previously G-banded metaphases showed a 3'CBFB deletion and confirmed the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome in a t(9;22;19) rearrangement. Deletion 7q31 was also confirmed by interphase FISH analysis. The patient was treated with standard AML chemotherapy plus gemtuzumab as part of a clinical trial. At 10-months follow-up, he was in remission. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of a pediatric case of de novo AML with a stemline showing inv(16) along with 3'CBFB deletion, an abnormal clone revealing in addition a del(7)(q22q32), and another clone with a t(9;22;19)(q34;q11.2;p13.1) as an additional abnormality.
