IRF2BP1 breaked in the middle of exon 1 at the c.322 position and fused with RARA intron 2 which is located at 3717 bp upstream of its exon 3. The fusion produced a new intron by forming a paired splicing donor GT at 9 bp downstream of RARA breakpoint and acceptor AG at the 5' end of RARA exon 3. The IRF2BP1::RARA fusion gene leads a fusion transcript involving IRF2BP1 exon 1 and RARA exon 3, linked by a 9-bp fragment derived from RARA intron 2. The patient with IRF2BP1::RARA has same clinical features of APL.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is an aggressive subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), characterized by the hallmark translocation t(15;17) resulting in a :: fusion. Once diagnosed, APL is now considered to be one of the most treatable forms of AML. However, without early detection and treatment, the disease is associated with rapid deterioration and lethal side effects.

is a recently reported fusion gene associated with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), caused by the integration of torque teno mini virus (TTMV) genomic fragments into the second intron of the gene. Currently, there have been only six documented cases, with clinical presentations showing significant variability. Although initial responses to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) treatment may be observed in patients with ::-APL, the overall prognosis remains unfavorable among infrequent reported cases.

In this manuscript, we report torque teno mini virus (TTMV) as a cause of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) lacking :: in a 3-year-old boy. Astolfi et al. firstly identified partial integration of the TTMV genome into intron 2, which resulted in in-frame :: fusion in two APL-like pediatric cases without :: in November 2021.
