Detection of exon 12 type A mutation of NPM1 gene in IMS-M2 cell line.
Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1), a protein that shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm, is mostly located in nucleoli. This is a multifunctional phosphoprotein to which both tumor-suppressor and oncogenic functions have been attributed. Here, we have found the cell line with the type A NPM1 mutation and with the other genetic alterations including ETV6-NTRC fusion. It will provide a good in vitro model for bio-molecular studies of interaction of mutated NPM1 gene and other genetic abnormalities as well as a useful tool for developing new molecularly targeted drugs.
