Abstract
Familial platelet disorder with predisposition to acute myeloid leukaemia (FPD/AML) is characterized by germline RUNX1 mutations, thrombocytopaenia, platelet dysfunction and a risk of developing acute myeloid and in rare cases lymphoid T leukaemia. Here, we focus on a case of a man with a familial history of RUNX1R174Q mutation who developed at the age of 42 years a T2‐ALL and, 2 years after remission, an AML‐M0. Both AML‐M0 and T2‐ALL blast populations demonstrated a loss of 1p36.32‐23 and 17q11.2 regions as well as other small deletions, clonal rearrangements of both TCRγ and TCRδ and a presence of 18 variants at a frequency of more than 40%. Additional variants were identified only in T2‐ALL or in AML‐M0 evoking the existence of a common original clone, which gave rise to subclonal populations. Next generation sequencing (NGS) performed on peripheral blood‐derived CD34+ cells 5 years prior to T2‐ALL development revealed only the missense TET2P1962T mutation at a frequency of 1%, which increases to more than 40% in fully transformed leukaemic T2‐ALL and AML‐M0 clones. This result suggests that TET2P1962T mutation in association with germline RUNX1R174Q mutation leads to amplification of a haematopoietic clone susceptible to acquire other transforming alterations.
