Acute lymphoblastic leukemia of adolescents and young adults: from the viewpoint of physicians.
Fusion genes found in cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are reported to be associated with age, such as MLL rearrangements in neonates and BCR-ABL1 in adults. However, the pathogenesis of ALL in adolescents and young adults (AYA) remains largely unknown. To investigate the potential role of fusion genes, we performed RNA-sequencing on 73 BCR-ABL1-negative ALL patients who were all AYA. Interestingly, DUX4-IGH was the most frequent fusion gene detected in B-ALL (18.5%) and was preferentially detected in the AYA generation. ZNF384 and MEF2D genes were also recurrently identified as functionally relevant fusion genes in 16.7% and 9.3% of AYA with B-ALL, respectively. Patients with DUX4 and ZNF384 fusion genes displayed better prognosis, while those with the MEF2D fusion gene displayed a worse outcome. To improve treatment outcome, the fusion genes detected in this study will be useful for risk stratification and target therapy.
