WHO Classification of Disease
| Structure | Disease |
|---|---|
| Book | Haematolymphoid Tumours (5th ed.) |
| Category | Myeloid proliferations and neoplasms |
| Family | Acute myeloid leukaemia |
| Type | Acute myeloid leukaemia with defining genetic abnormalities |
| Subtype(s) | Acute promyelocytic leukaemia with PML::RARA fusion |
Definition / Description of Disease
This is a distinct entity in the World Health Organization (WHO) classification system, and associated French-American-British (FAB) classification is acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL, M3)[1].
Synonyms / Terminology
APL with t(15;17)(q24.1;q21.1)
AML with t(15;17)(q24.1;q21.1)
Epidemiology / Prevalence
Accounts for 5-8% of AML, may occur at any age, but predominantly in adult in mid-life[1].
Clinical Features
Put your text here and fill in the table (Instruction: Can include references in the table. Do not delete table.)
| Signs and Symptoms | EXAMPLE: Asymptomatic (incidental finding on complete blood counts)
EXAMPLE: B-symptoms (weight loss, fever, night sweats) EXAMPLE: Fatigue EXAMPLE: Lymphadenopathy (uncommon) |
| Laboratory Findings | EXAMPLE: Cytopenias
EXAMPLE: Lymphocytosis (low level) |
editv4:Clinical FeaturesThe content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.Typical (hypergranular) and microgranular (hypogranular) APL are frequently associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). In contrast to typical APL, microgranular APL is associated with increased counts of leukocytes which have rapid doubling time[1].
Sites of Involvement
Bone marrow
Morphologic Features
The abnormal promyelocytes of typical APL have irregular and variable nuclear size and shapes. They are frequently kidney-shaped or bilobed. The cytoplasm is characterized by large granules and stains bright pink, red or purple in Romanowsky staining. In most cases, there are bundles of Auer rods (“faggot cells”) in the cytoplasm. Myeloblasts with single Auer rods may also be present. Auer rods in typical APL are usually larger than those in other types of AML. Microgranular APL is characterized by apparent paucity or absence of granules and predominantly bilobed nuclear shape. The myeloperoxidase (MPO) reaction for both typical and microgranular APL is positive[1].
Immunophenotype
The immunophenotype has been well characterized[1][2][3].
| Finding | Marker |
|---|---|
| Positive (universal) | CD13, CD33, CD117, myeloperoxidase (MPO) |
| Positive (subset) | CD2 (microgranular APL), CD34 (microgranular APL), CD56 (20% of APL, associated with a worse outcome) |
| Negative (universal) | HLA-DR, CD15, CD11a, CD11b, CD11c, CD18 |
| Negative (subset) | CD2 (typical APL), CD34 (typical APL) |
Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)
Put your text here and fill in the table
| Chromosomal Rearrangement | Genes in Fusion (5’ or 3’ Segments) | Pathogenic Derivative | Prevalence | Diagnostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) | Prognostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) | Therapeutic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EXAMPLE: t(9;22)(q34;q11.2) | EXAMPLE: 3'ABL1 / 5'BCR | EXAMPLE: der(22) | EXAMPLE: 20% (COSMIC)
EXAMPLE: 30% (add reference) |
Yes | No | Yes | EXAMPLE:
The t(9;22) is diagnostic of CML in the appropriate morphology and clinical context (add reference). This fusion is responsive to targeted therapy such as Imatinib (Gleevec) (add reference). |
editv4:Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.This AML subtype is classified based on the presence of a PML-RARA fusion, which results from fusion of the 5’ portion of PML at 15q24.1 and the 3’ portion of RARA at 17q21.1[4]. 5'PML-3'RARA transcript is expressed in all cases, and 5'RARA-3'PML transcript is found in 2/3 of cases[5]. Rare cases of APL have cryptic t(15;17)(q24.1;q21.1) such as submicroscopic insertion of RARA into PML leading to the expression of the PML-RARA transcript or three way translocations involving chromosomes 15 and 17 with an additional chromosome[6]. Several variant translocations involving RARA have also been identified, including t(11;17) and t(5;17)[6]. The 4th edition revision to the World Health Organization renamed APL with t(15;17)(q24.1;q21.1) as APL with PML-RARA[1][7].
Chromosomal Rearrangement Genes in Fusion (5’ or 3’ Segments) Pathogenic Derivative Prevalence t(15;17)(q24.1;q21.1) 5'PML / 3'RARA der(15) 5-8% of AML
editv4:Clinical Significance (Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapeutic Implications).Please incorporate this section into the relevant tables found in:
- Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)
- Individual Region Genomic Gain/Loss/LOH
- Characteristic Chromosomal Patterns
- Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)
APL can be differentiated from other types of AML based on microscopic examination of the blood, bone marrow, or biopsy as well as detection of the PML/RARA fusion gene. The prognosis in APL treated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide is favorable, and relapsed or refractory APL cases show a generally good response with arsenic trioxide therapy[8][9]. Expression of CD56 is associated with poor prognosis, while the prognostic significance of FLT3 -ITD mutations remains unclear[10][11].

Genes and Main Pathways Involved
Put your text here and fill in the table (Instructions: Can include references in the table. Do not delete table.)
| Gene; Genetic Alteration | Pathway | Pathophysiologic Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| EXAMPLE: BRAF and MAP2K1; Activating mutations | EXAMPLE: MAPK signaling | EXAMPLE: Increased cell growth and proliferation |
| EXAMPLE: CDKN2A; Inactivating mutations | EXAMPLE: Cell cycle regulation | EXAMPLE: Unregulated cell division |
| EXAMPLE: KMT2C and ARID1A; Inactivating mutations | EXAMPLE: Histone modification, chromatin remodeling | EXAMPLE: Abnormal gene expression program |
editv4:Genes and Main Pathways InvolvedThe content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.The protein encoded by the PML (promyelocytic leukemia) gene is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family and it functions as a transcription factor and tumor suppressor. PML is the core component of subnuclear structures called PML nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) and it interacts with a large number of proteins including p53 and has been implicated in several cellular functions such as cellular senescence, apoptosis, and hematopoietic stem cell maintenance[12][13]. The gene RARA (Retinoic acid receptor, alpha) encodes a nuclear retinoic acid receptor which regulates transcription in a ligand-dependent manner[14]. The fusion of PML and RARA results in expression of a hybrid protein with altered functions. This fusion protein deregulates transcriptional control such as RAR targets and disrupts PML nuclear bodies[15].
