Aberrant EVI1 splicing contributes to EVI1-rearranged leukemia

Summary

  • ・A novel EVI1 splice isoform is frequently expressed in poor-prognostic leukemia harboring inv(3)/t(3;3) and drives myeloid transformation.
  • ・Frequent SF3B1 mutations in inv(3)/t(3;3) leukemia generate a novel EVI1 isoform with an altered second Zinc finger DNA-binding domain.
  • ・These results explain the reason why splicing factor SF3B1 mutation is very frequently mutated in inv(3)/t(3;3) leukemia
