We describe a patient with MDS/MPN with ring sideroblasts and thrombocytosis who had deletions of long arm of chromosome 5 (5q-) and chromosome 20 (20q-). Molecular studies showed an exon 9, frame shift mutation in the calreticulin (CALR) gene, and absence of mutations in JAK2, MPL, SETBP1 or SF3B1.Treatment with lenalidomide resulted in durable clinical remission which has lasted 2 years.
We present a case of acute myeloid leukemia with der(1)t(1;19)(p13;p13.1) translocation and
RUNX1
mutation. A literature review summarizing the clinical, pathological, and molecular features of the published cases is also presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
