Supplementary Material for: Genomic and Cytogenetic Characterization of a Balanced Translocation Disrupting NUP98 M.L.Thibodeau M.Steinraths L.Brown Z.Zong N.Shomer S.Taubert K.L.Mungall Y.P.Ma R.Mueller I.Birol A.Lehman 2017 A 41-year-old Asian woman with bilateral renal angiomyolipomas (AML) was incidentally identified to have a balanced translocation, 46,XX,t(11;12)(p15.4;q15). She had no other features or family history to suggest a diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis. Her healthy daughter had the same translocation and no renal AML at the age of 3 years. Whole-genome sequencing was performed on genomic maternal DNA isolated from blood. A targeted de novo assembly was then conducted with ABySS for chromosomes 11 and 12. Sanger sequencing was used to validate the translocation breakpoints. As a result, genomic characterization of chromosomes 11 and 12 revealed that the 11p breakpoint disrupted the <i>NUP98 </i>gene in intron 1, causing a separation of the promoter and transcription start site from the rest of the gene. The translocation breakpoint on chromosome 12q was located in a gene desert. <i>NUP98</i> has not yet been associated with renal AML pathogenesis, but somatic <i>NUP98</i> alterations are recurrently implicated in hematological malignancies, most often following a gene fusion event. We also found evidence for complex structural events involving chromosome 12, which appear to disrupt the <i>TDG</i> gene. We identified a <i>TDGP1</i> partially processed pseudogene at 12p12.1, which adds complexity to the de novo assembly. In conclusion, this is the first report of a germline constitutional structural chromosome rearrangement disrupting <i>NUP98</i> that occurred in a generally healthy woman with bilateral renal AML.
