Abstract
BACKGROUND: NPM1 gene at chromosome 5q35 is involved in recurrent translocations in leukemia and lymphoma. It also undergoes mutations in 60% of adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases with normal karyotype. The incidence and significance of NPM1 deletion in human leukemia have not been elucidated.

Figure 1FISH, cytogenetics and mutational analysis.
A) Results of FISH in 38 patients with MDS/AML and NPM1 monoallelic deletion (NPM1+/−): schema of 5q breakpoints. Upper: ideogram of the long arm of chromosome 5 in G banding. Lower: genomic clones at proximal (q11.2– q14.1 sub-bands) and distal (q35.1–q35.3 sub-bands) breakpoints with percentages of cases. B) G-banded karyotype of a representative case (n.103, Supporting Table S1) showed a complex karyotype including monosomies, unbalanced translocations, five markers, and a very small deleted chromosome 5 corresponding to the largest 5q deletion including NPM1 with breakpoints at q11.2 and q35.3 (Right ideogram). C) FISH of case n.103: concomitant deletion of RP11-117L6/NPM1 (green) and RP11-266N13 (red) indicate centromeric breakpoint (left) and RP1-240G13/subtelomeric sequences (red) indicate telomeric breakpoint (right). Only one copy of each clone is present. D) Gene sequencing of case n.103 shows no NPM1 exon 12 mutation in the non-deleted chromosome 5. The last 12 amino acids encoded by exon 12 of wild type NPM1 (NM_002520) are annotated on top of the sequence.
Figure 2RT-qPCR and NPM1 gene expression.
NPM1 expression in 9 patients with MDS/AML NPM1+/− (median: 0.5443; range: 0.18÷0.70), in 15 with MDS/AML NPM1+/+ (median: 0.96; range: 0.44÷3.20) and in 11 healthy controls (median 1.07; range 0.61÷1.50). Horizontal lines indicate median NPM1 expression in each group. Y axis = 2∧−ΔΔCt value (NPM1 gene expression level normalized to endogenous ABL1 gene) ΔCt = Ct −Ct ABL1, ΔΔCt = ΔCt sample−ΔCtcalibrator. (P values according to the Mann-Whitney U test and Bonferroni correction); n.s. = non significant.
