Abstrakt: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by the chromosomal translocation t(15;17)(q24;q21), raising two hybrid genes: PML::RARA and RARA::PML. There is a biased clonal evolution in APL since imbalances affecting the der(15) chromosome (the one that carries the transforming PML::RARA gene) have never been reported; instead, imbalances of the der(17), mainly in form of an ider(17)(q10), have been repeatedly documented. We here present two cases with APL who acquired an ider(17)(q10) as a secondary chromosomal change. The presence of the ider(17)(q10) implies several genomic consequences with potential to fuel tumor progression: (1) a duplication of the hybrid gene RARA::PML; (2) a cumulative haploinsufficiency for tumor suppressor genes located in the 17p arm; and (3) a cumulative triplosensitivity of genes located in 17q10→RARA::PML→15qter. Both our patients were treated following the PETHEMA LPA 2012 protocol with ATRA plus idarubicin and they have had a long event-free survival.
