A case of Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute myeloid leukaemia with missense mutation R132c (c.394 c>t) and single nucleotide polymorphism rs11554137(G105G) in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 gene

Abstract

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease due to its variable clinical, morphological and genetic features. New chromosomal and molecular abnormalities are being studied to evaluate novel treatment options and prognostic implications. We report a patient with AML who was Philadelphia chromosome-positive along with IDH1R132 mutation and SNP rs11554137(IDH1105GGT). Due to limited reports regarding these aberrations in patients with AML, there is no consensus regarding their prognostic implications. To the best of our knowledge, the presence of Philadelphia chromosome, IDH1R132 and SNP rs11554137 in a single AML patient with good prognosis is a novel finding.
