A Diffuse BM infiltration by leukaemic cells. Dysplastic megakaryocytes are also present (arrow). B Mononucleated blasts and dysplastic megakaryocytes (arrow) express cytoplasmic NPM1 (APAAP immunostaining, x400). C Sanger sequencing of exon 11 showing a heterozygous 8 nucleotides insertion leading to a stop codon at amino acid 275. D Schematic representation of the new mutant protein (Mut) compared with the wild-type (WT). Analysis of the new protein sequence predicted a truncated protein (274 aa length), with a newly acquired NES motif (VxxxFxxLxIx). Both proteins are recognized by the anti-NPM1, Clone 376 mAb: monoclonal antibody.
