PG - 1503-1507 LID - 10.11406/rinketsu.64.1503 [doi] AB - A 27-year-old woman with pancytopenia was admitted to our hospital. Bone marrow aspiration revealed 52.2% myeloperoxidase-positive myeloblasts, leading to a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia. While a screening test for chimeric genes related to leukemia initially yielded negative results, including for the CBFB::MYH11 fusion gene, G-banded karyotyping uncovered the presence of inv (16)(p13.1q22). Further investigation by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) confirmed the split signals for CBFB. A second screening test for leukemia-related chimeric genes with different PCR primers revealed the elusive CBFB::MYH11 fusion gene. Subsequently, the type I CBFB::MYH11 fusion gene was identified through exhaustive exploration using RNA sequencing for fusion gene discovery. This exceptional case highlights the existence of a distinctive subtype of CBFB::MYH11 that may yield false-negative results in conventional chimeric fusion screening, thus emphasizing the indispensable utility of PCR primer modification, FISH, and RNA sequencing in the investigative process.
