A: Red arrow indicates der(3); green arrow indicates der(11). The chromosomes displaying only red color or green color (yellow arrows) are normal chromosomes 11 and 3, respectively. Insert: Representative partial karyotype showing t(3;11). Clinics and pathology Phenotype/cell stem origin Only one case available; BM showed 82.5% blast cells Disease mostly with myeloid features. Immuno-phenotype: Bi-phenotypic acute T-lymphoid/myeloid leukemia CD34+ cells count 35.6%, CD13+ 25.9%, CD33+ 85.4%, MPO+ 20.6% and CD3+ 65.9%, CD7+ 96.5%. Atlas Genet Cytogenet Oncol Haematol. 2010; 14(1) 70 t(3;11)(q29;p15) Chen L-T, Chen S-J Clinics Additional anomalies Only one case available; the patient was a 42-year-old +21 female at diagnosis. After the chemotherapy with vincristine, cytarabine and mitoxantrone, she achieved Genes involved and proteins complete remission (CR), but relapsed after 4 months, and died from intracranial hemorrhage at the 22 nd NUP98 months. Location Prognosis 11p15.5 The prognostic implication of t(3;11)(q29q13;p15) Protein del(3)(q29) remains to be defined. Nucleoporin 98, a 98 kDa component of the nuclear pore complex, which mediates nucleo-cytoplasmic Cytogenetics transport of protein and RNA. IQCG (IQ motif containing G) Location 3q29 Protein 443 amino acids. Result of the chromosomal anomaly Hybrid gene Description 5' NUP98 - 3' IQCG; Molecular analysis showed that exon 13 of NUP98 is fused in-frame to exon 10 of IQCG. Fusion protein Description It fuses the GLFG repeat domains of NUP98 to one coiled-coil domain and IQ motif of IQCG. Expression / Localisation Nuclear localization.
