Validation of additionally detected non-risk-relevant high confidence fusion calls identified PIM3::BRD1, C22orf34::BRD1, PSPC1::ZMYM2 and ARHGAP26::NR3C1 as common genetic variants and MYB::GATA1 as recurrent aberration, which we here describe in AML subtypes M0 and M7 for the first time. The gene discussed is BRD1; the disease is acute myeloid leukemia.
