The 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome is a rare, aggressive condition
associated with reciprocal translocations of chromosome band 8p11, most
commonly the t(8;13)(p11;q12). To identify the genes involved in this
translocation, we used fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)
analysis to show that the chromosome 8 breakpoints fell within YAC
899e2 and that the chromosome 13 breakpoints are clustered in a region
flanked by YACs 929f11 and 911h8. FISH using chromosome 13 PAC clones
indicated that the t(8;13) is not simply a reciprocal translocation but
also involves an inversion of 13q11-12. Exon trapping of a PAC that
spanned the chromosome 13 translocation breakpoints led to the
identification of a gene, ZNF198, that detected rearranged bands when
used as a probe against Southern blots of patient DNA. Conceptual
translation of the full-length ZNF198 cDNA sequence predicts a protein
of 1377 amino acids that shows significant homology to the
DXS6673E/KIAA0385 and KIAA0425 proteins. Alignment of these three
proteins revealed a novel, conserved Zn-finger-related motif (MYM
domain) of the general form
CX2C19-22CX3CX13-19CX2CX19-25FCX3CX3F/Y
that is repeated five times in each protein. To identify the
translocation partner gene on chromosome 8, 5 and
3 RACE polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) were
performed on patient RNA with several combinations of ZNF198 primers.
Clones were identified in which the ZNF198 was fused to exon 9 of the
fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR1), a gene known to map to
8p11. An identical ZNF198-FGFR1 fusion was detected in the three
patients with a t(8;13) for whom RNA was available; reciprocal
FGFR1-ZNF198 transcripts were not detected. Rearrangements of both
ZNF198 and FGFR1 were found in two further patients by Southern
blotting. ZNF198-FGFR1 includes the five MYM domains of ZNF198 and the
intracellular tyrosine kinase domain of FGFR1. We hypothesize that this
fusion leads to constitutive activation of the FGFR1 tyrosine kinase in
a manner analogous to the activation of ABL by BCR in chronic myeloid
leukemia.
