The recurrent translocation t(5;11)(q35;p15.5) associated with a 5q
deletion, del(5q), has been reported in childhood acute myeloid
leukemia (AML). We report the cloning of the translocation breakpoints
in de novo childhood AML harboring a cryptic t(5;11)(q35;p15.5). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis demonstrated that
the nucleoporin gene (NUP98) at 11p15.5 was disrupted by this translocation. By using 3'-rapid amplification of complementary DNA ends (3'-RACE) polymerase chain reaction, we identified a chimeric
messenger RNA that results in the in-frame fusion of NUP98
to a novel gene, NSD1. The NSD1 gene has 2596 amino acid residues and a 85% homology to the murine Nsd1
with the domain structure being conserved. The NSD1 gene
was localized to 5q35 by FISH and is widely expressed. The reciprocal
transcript, NSD1-NUP98, was also detected by reverse
transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. This is the first report in
which the novel gene NSD1 has been implicated in human malignancy.
