KMT2A-MLLT1 and the Novel SEC16A-KMT2A in a Cryptic 3-Way Translocation t(9;11;19) Present in an Infant With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

About 25% of the patients with the translocation t(11;19)(q23;p13.3)/KMT2A-MLLT1 present three-way or more complex fusions, associated with a worse prognosis, suggesting that a particular mechanism creates functional KMT2A fusions for this condition. In this work, we show a cryptic three-way translocation t(9;11;19). Interestingly, long-distance inverse polymerase chain reaction sequencing revealed a KMT2A-MLLT1 and the yet unreported out-of-frame SEC16A-KMT2A fusion, associated with low SEC16A expression and KMT2A overexpression, in an infant with B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia presenting a poor prognosis. Our case illustrates the importance of molecular cytogenetic tests in selecting cases for further investigations, which could open perspectives regarding novel therapeutic approaches for poor prognosis childhood leukemias.
