ResumoChromosomal rearrangements in the chromosomal region 11p15 have been recurrently involved in secondary hematopoietic malignancies [ [1] Lam D.H. Aplan P.D. NUP98 gene fusions in hematologic malignancies. Leukemia. 2001; 15: 1689-1695 Crossref PubMed Scopus (85) Google Scholar ]. Molecular studies have shown that the 11p15 recurrent translocations in primary and secondary hematopoietic malignancies target the nucleoporin (NUP98) gene [ 2 Nakamura T. Yamazaki Y. Hatano Y.

Br J Haematol. 2000; 109: 788-793 Crossref PubMed Scopus (32) Google Scholar ]. These chromosomal rearrangements lead to the fusion of the 5' portion of NUP98 with coding sequences from partner genes, which include Hox and non-Hox genes. NUP98 encodes a 98-kD nuclear pore transport protein that mediates the transport of proteins and RNA between the nucleus and cytoplasm. The recurrent rearrangement between NUP98 and several partner genes suggests that the NUP98 locus is vulnerable to genotoxic-induced chromosomal recombination, such as those observed in the MLL locus. In contrast to MLL, however, NUP98 has not been implicated in blood cell development. To date, diverse partner genes in several chromosomes have been targeted in rearrangements involving 11p15; however, the 1q23 chromosomal region has been reported previously in two cases of secondary acute myeloid leukemia (s-AML), and both were in adults [ 7 Hatano Y.
