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 myeloid leukaemia with KMT2A rearrangement

Definition / Description of Disease

This is a distinct entity in the World Health Organization (WHO) classification system[1][2].

Synonyms / Terminology

AF9/MLL

Epidemiology / Prevalence

Accounts for 9-12% of pediatric cases of AML and 1- 2% of adult AML cases[3][4]. No gender bias noted.

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 Features
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

Patients may present with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), extramedullary myeloid (monocytic) sarcomas, and/or tissue infiltration involving the gingiva and skin[1].

Sites of Involvement

Bone marrow

Morphologic Features

This subtype may be seen in AML with or without maturation and has a strong association with acute monocytic and myelomonocytic leukemias[1]. The blasts present are typically monoblasts or promonocytes[1]. The monoblasts are large cells that have abundant cytoplasm, which may be moderate to intensely basophilic. The cytoplasm may also show pseudopod formation, scattered and fine azurophilic granules, and vacuoles. The nuclei of the monoblasts are typically round with delicate lacy chromatin and may contain one or more prominent nucleoli. The promonocytes have cytoplasm that is less basophilic and may be more granulated, in addition to the presence of the occasional large azurophilic granules and vacuoles. Mostly these monoblasts and promonocytes are MPO negative by immunohistochemistry. These cells have a more irregularly shaped and delicately convoluted nuclear configuration.

Immunophenotype

Finding Marker
Positive (universal) CD33, CD65, CD4, and HLA-DR (children); CD14, CD4, CD11b, CD11c, CD64, CD36, and Lysozyme (adults)[5]
Positive (subset) Neuron-glial antigen 2 (NG2) (children and adults)[6]

CD34, CD117, and CD56 (adult)[5]

Negative (universal) CD13, CD34, and CD14 (children)[7]
Negative (subset) None

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 translocation between chromosomes 9 and 11, specifically t(9;11)(p21.3;q23.3). This translocation leads to the fusion of the 5’ portion of KMT2A at 11q23.3 and the 3’ portion of MLLT3 at 9p21.3. Both reciprocal fusions are expressed, however, the KMT2A-MLLT3 fusion on the derivative chromosome 11 is the candidate oncoprotein as it contains the putative functional domains of both proteins[1][3][8].

Chromosomal Rearrangement Genes in Fusion (5’ or 3’ Segments) Pathogenic Derivative Prevalence
t(9;11)(p21.3;q23.3) 5'KMT2A / 3'MLLT3 der(11) 1-12% 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)

Patients with t(9;11) resulting in a fusion between KMT2A and MLLT3 and ≥20% blasts are diagnosed with AML with t(9;11). AML with t(9;11)(p21.3;q23.3) has an intermediate survival, which is superior to AML with other 11q23 translocations[8][9]. There have been over 50 KMT2A translocation partners identified[10][11] and one of the most common partners is MLLT3[1].

Patients presenting with t(9;11)(p22;q23) and <20% blasts should be monitored closely for more definite evidence of AML.

editv4:Genes and Main Pathways Involved
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

The KMT2A (Lysine Methyltransferase 2A) gene encodes a protein that complexes with other proteins and functions to regulate gene transcription through chromatin remodeling. This protein plays a vital role in regulating gene expressing during early development and hematopoiesis. The MLLT3 (Super Elongation Complex Subunit) gene encodes a protein that is an element of the super elongation complex (SEC). The SEC is a complex that plays an essential role in regulating the activity of RNA polymerase II transcription. The fusion protein created, KMT2A-MLLT3, leads to the promotion of transcriptional elongation, activation of genes that would typically be silenced, and thus inhibits hematopoietic cells from properly maturing[12].
