In some cases, two or more affected members have been identified in the same family. To date, mutations in two genes have been directly implicated: the hematopoietic transcription factors RUNX1 (runt-related transcription factor 1) and CEBPA (CCATT-box enhancer binding protein alpha). However, there are also other familial cases of MDS/AML where the genetic basis remains unknown. Both MDS, and to a lesser extent AML, have been observed in cases of the bone marrow failure syndrome dyskeratosis congenita, in which telomerase mutations have been identified. Recently, an increased incidence of telomerase reverse transcriptase mutations has been reported in a series of de novo AML. We have now identified novel mutations in the telomerase RNA (TERC) or telomerase reverse transcriptase component (TERT) within 4 of 20 families presenting with familial MDS/AML. Functional analysis has demonstrated that all mutations adversely impact on telomerase activity in vitro, and affected individuals have short telomeres. These families, in conjunction with a review of previously published cases, help to further define the pathological role of telomerase mutations in MDS/AML and have implications for the biology, treatment and screening regimen of de novo cases."xsd:string |
