Recurrent coalterations with NUP98 gene fusions

CoalterationEstimated frequencyNotes
FLT3-ITD mutation 48%-92% NUP98-NSD131,34,59,60,70 
7%-27% NUP98-HOXA965,66  
Repeatedly observed in AML with many NUP98 fusion partners (rarely including NUP98-KDM5A3,31,58,62 ); predicts poor prognosis when observed with NUP98-NSD1 fusion and/or WT1 mutation32,34,60,70,129 ; association may be lost following treatment failure71  
WT1 mutation 33%-55% NUP98-NSD159,60,131 
44% NUP98-HOXA966  
Observed in AML with various fusion partners3,31,32,34,59,60,66,71,129-131,163,164 ; predicts poor prognosis with NUP98-NSD1 fusion and/or FLT3-ITD mutation32,34,129  
NRAS mutation 11%-29% NUP98-NSD159,60,131 
22% NUP98-HOXA966  
Observed in AML with various fusion partners3,33,34,59,60,66,129,130  
KRAS mutation 11%-17% NUP98-NSD159,60 
22% NUP98-HOXA966  
Occurs with NUP98-HOXA9,66,129 -KDM5A,54  and -NSD133,59,60  
RB1 loss 80%-100% NUP98-KDM5A3,62  Observed in almost all NUP98-KDM5A cases3,62,125 ; not identified with other NUP98 fusion partners 
BCR-ABL fusion  NUP98 fusion may drive CML transition into blast crisis or mediate resistance to imatinib25,165 ; not identified with NUP98-KDM5A or NUP98-NSD1 
CEPBA mutation  Fairly infrequent with NUP98 fusion; generally only observed with NUP98 fusion as well as FLT3-ITD or WT1 mutation31,34  
NOTCH1 mutation  Only identified in T-ALL with NUP98 fusion,123  including in some mouse models85,124  
MYC mutation  Noted in NUP98-NSD1 cases; relatively infrequent71,131  
KIT mutation  Identified with both NUP98-HOXA9 and NUP98-NSD1 fusions59,129  
ASXL1 mutation  Likely results in epigenetic dysregulation, identified in few patients with NUP98 fusion62,166  
Trisomy 8  Observed in multiple cases with various fusion partners despite that NUP98 fusion is often noted as the only chromosomal rearrangement, especially in older patients25,31,34,65,166,167

For the most common coalterations, estimated frequencies were determined from available studies with >5 patients.
