Summary
A RUNX1 deletion drove acute myeloid leukemia in a patient without prior myeloid neoplasm. Multiple tests were needed, revealing the adverse prognosis associated with RUNX1 deletion AML.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Genetics
- Oncology
Background:
- Copy number variants are frequent in myeloid malignancies.
- These variants can impact diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.
- RUNX1 alterations are implicated in various hematologic disorders.

Exon Recombination
3.5K
The evolution of new genes is critical for speciation. Exon recombination, also known as exon shuffling or domain shuffling, is an important means of new gene formation. It is observed across vertebrates, invertebrates, and in some plants such as potatoes and sunflowers. During exon recombination, exons from the same or different genes recombine and produce new exon-intron combinations, which might evolve into new genes.
Exon shuffling follows “splice frame rules.” Each exon...

Inheritance of Chromatin Structures
6.2K
Epigenetics is the study of inherited changes in a cell's phenotype without changing the DNA sequences. It provides a form of memory for the differential gene expression pattern to maintain cell lineage, position-effect variegation, dosage compensation, and maintenance of chromatin structures such as telomeres and centromeres. For example, the structure and location of the centromere on chromosomes are epigenetically inherited. Its functionality is not dictated or ensured by the underlying...
