Clinical whole-genome sequencing and FISH identify two different fusion partners for NUP98 in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia: a case report

Only rare cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have been shown to harbor a t(8;11)(p11.2;p15.4). This translocation is believed to involve the fusion of NSD3 or FGFR1 with NUP98; however, apart from targeted mRNA quantitative PCR analysis, no molecular approaches have been utilized to define the chimeric fusions present in these rare cases.
