Clonal hematopoiesis of a novel dic(18;20) clone following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

© 2023. Japanese Society of Hematology..

A 55-year-old man in first complete remission of acute myeloid leukemia with a normal karyotype underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a human-leukocyte-antigen-matched sibling. Bone marrow examination on day 28 confirmed complete remission, but G-banding analysis revealed a novel chromosomal abnormality, including dic(18;20)(p11.2;q11.2). The patient developed moderate chronic graft-versus-host disease on day 174, and the abnormal clones identified by dic(18;20) significantly increased after that point. Chimerism testing repeatedly confirmed complete donor type. Although next-generation sequencing showed no clonal hematopoiesis-related gene mutations, copy number analysis of the donor and the recipient revealed copy number deletion of 18p, 18q, and 20q. The patient has maintained remission for more than 2 years to date without developing a hematologic neoplasm or cytopenia. The distinctive clonal hematopoiesis with a dicentric chromosome seemed to have undergone the breakage-fusion-bridge cycle, which could cause the complex events of deletion, amplification, and inversion. These copy number alterations might have increased the number of clones with growth advantage, and the highly inflammatory environment in the recipient due to graft-versus-host disease might have contributed to the clonal selection.
