“…9,10 The current matchedpair analysis of the nationwide survey demonstrated that the OS and the non-relapse mortality, as well as the relapse rate, were independent of the presence of t(6;9)(p23;q34) in allogeneic HSCT recipients, thus suggesting that allogeneic HSCT may be able to overcome the unfavorable effect of t(6;9)(p23;q34) in AML patients.…”

“…[5][6][7][8] The translocation of chromosome (6;9)(p23;q34) forming the DEK/NUP214 fusion mRNA is observed in B1% of AML cases. 9 The characteristics of AML with t(6;9)(p23;q34) are known to include development at a younger age, 10 resistance to chemotherapy and a very poor prognosis. 9 Therefore, the presence of this karyotype in AML patients is an indication for HSCT; however, the impact of t(6;9)(p23;q34) on the outcome of HSCT remains unclear because of the rarity of this entity.…”

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with t(6;9)(p23;q34) is well known to have a poor prognosis treated with chemotherapy and autotransplantation. The presence of this karyotype is an indicator for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT); however, the impact of t(6;9)(p23;q34) on the HSCT outcome remains unclear. We conducted a matchedpair analysis of de novo AML patients with and without t(6;9)(p23;q34) using data obtained from the Japanese HSCT data registry. A total of 57 patients with t(6;9)(p23;q34) received transplants between 1996 and 2007, and 171 of 2056 normal karyotype patients matched for age, disease status at HSCT and graft source were selected. The overall survival, disease-free survival, cumulative incidence of relapse and the non-relapse mortality in t(6;9)(p23;q34) patients were comparable to those for normal karyotype patients. A univariate analysis showed that t(6;9)(p23;q34) had no significant impact on the overall survival. These findings suggest that allogeneic HSCT may overcome the unfavorable impact of t(6;9)(p23;q34) as an independent prognostic factor.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous group of disorders with regards to its pathology and molecular genetics features. Translocation (6;9)(p23;q34) is a cytogenetic aberration that can be found in specific subtypes of both AML and myelodysplastic syndrome. This translocation is associated with an unfavorable prognosis. The t(6;9) is found in myeloproliferative disorders with typical clinical characteristics. This translocation results in highly consistent abnormalities at the molecular level. Here, we describe a case of sole translocation (6;9)(p23;q34) in AML-ETO negative AML-M2 patient with conventional cytogenetic and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) study results.
