Two Novel GATA1 Mutations in Transient Abnormal Myelopoiesis of Thai Neonates with Down Syndrome.


ABSTRACT: Children with Down syndrome (DS) are 150 times more likely to develop acute myeloid leukemia (ML-DS), compared with those without. One risk factor is transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM). Somatic truncating GATA1 mutations are found in most TAM patients and are markers for future ML-DS. We identified two novel frameshift mutations in our seven newborns with DS and TAM: a heterozygous mutation of 17 nucleotide duplication (c.154_170 dup) and a heterozygous 9-nucleotide deletion combined with a 2-nucleotide insertion (c.150_158delins CT). Both mutations introduced a truncated GATA1 protein. Thus, neonates with DS and TAM require frequent ML-DS monitoring.
