Pathology

 PRDM1

• Variants at 6q21 implicate PRDM1 in the etiology of therapy-induced second malignancies after Hodgkin’s lymphoma. (21785431)

 PRDM9

• Rare allelic forms of PRDM9 associated with childhood leukemogenesis. (23222848)

 PRDM16

• PRDM16 is encoding a zinc finger protein with a PR domain that is highly homologous to the MDS1 (MIM.600049)/EVI1 (MIM.165215) genes.
• PRDM16 variant in predisposition to migraine (GWAS) (21666692)
• PRDM16 is located near the breakpoint at 1p36.3.
• The 3q21-q26 syndrome represents a recurrent translocation, inversion, or insertion between the regions 3q21 and 3q26 and is associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
• The disorder is frequently characterized by trilineage dysplasia, in particular dysmegakaryocytopoiesis, and poor prognosis.
• A similar type of MDS/AML has been reported with the recurrent t(1;3)(p36;q21) translocation.
• Near the breakpoint at 1p36.3, the gene PRDM16 has been identified, encoding a zinc finger protein with a PR domain that is highly homologous to the MDS1 (MIM.600049)/EVI1 (MIM.165215) genes.
