The NUP214-ABL1 fusion gene is a constitutively active tyrosine kinase that can be detected in 6% of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) patients, and it can also be found in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL). However the NUP214-ABL1 fusion in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has not yet been reported. Up to now, the sensitivity of NUP214-ABL1-positive patients to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) is still controversial. Here we report the first case of an AML patient carrying NUP214-ABL1 fusion gene. The conventional AML chemotherapy regimen for the patient was successful. Identification of additional AML patients with NUP214-ABL1 fusion gene will provide treatment experience and prognostic evaluation.
