Transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM) is a common complication in newborns with Down syndrome (DS). It commonly progresses to myeloid leukemia (ML-DS) after spontaneous regression. In contrast to the favorable prognosis of primary ML-DS, patients with refractory/relapsed ML-DS have poor outcomes.

Transcription factor GATA1 controls the delicate balance between proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis in both the erythroid and megakaryocytic lineages. In addition to full-length GATA1, there is an GATA1 isoform, GATA1s, that lacks the amino-terminal transactivation domain. Somatic GATA1 mutations that lead to the exclusive production of GATA1s appear to be necessary and sufficient for the development of a preleukemic condition called transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD) in Down syndrome newborns.

Transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD) is a pre-leukemic condition that occurs only in neonates with Trisomy 21 (T21), and is attributed to a genetic interaction between the third copy of chromosome 21 (HSA21) and a mutation in the transcription factor GATA1 that results in a truncated protein (GATA1s). We generated a euploid iPSC line with a GATA1s mutation that is isogenic to a previously published pair of T21 lines with and without a GATA1 mutation. The line was characterized for pluripotency, differentiation potential, and genomic stability.

Trisomy 21 (T21), or Down Syndrome (DS), is a common chromosomal disorder resulting from a third copy of chromosome 21 (HSA21). Transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD) is a pre-leukemic condition that occurs only in neonates with DS and is characterized by a mutation in the transcription factor GATA1 that results in a truncated protein (GATA1s). We generated a pair of isogenic T21 lines derived from a patient with TMD that differ only in GATA1 status.

Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) is a rare disease, occurring mostly in infants and young children. The chromosomal translocation t(1;22)(p13;q13), resulting in the RBM15-MKL1 fusion gene, is a recurrent and diagnostic translocation in infants with AMKL. The present case report describes a case of a newborn girl, without Down's syndrome, with congenital AMKL.
