Cloning of the t(1;5)(q23;q33) in a myeloproliferative disorder associated with eosinophilia: involvement of PDGFRB and response to imatinib.

Cloning of the t(1;5)(q23;q33) in a Myeloproliferative Disorder associated with Eosinophilia: Involvement of PDGFRB and Response to Imatinib Short Title: Imatinib in MPD with t(1;5) and novel PDGFRB fusion

NIN, a gene encoding a CEP110-like centrosomal protein, is fused to PDGFRB in a patient with a t(5;14)(q33;q24) and an imatinib-responsive myeloproliferative disorder.

We describe a new PDGFRB fusion associated with a t(5;14)(q33;q24) in a patient with a longstanding chronic myeloproliferative disorder with eosinophilia. After confirmation of PDGFRB involvement and definition of the chromosome 14 breakpoint by fluorescence in situ hybridization, candidate partner genes were selected on the basis of the presence of predicted oligomerization domains believed to...

A 26-Year-Old Female with Systemic Mastocytosis with Associated Myeloid Neoplasm with Eosinophilia and Abnormalities of PDGFRB, t(4;5)(q21;q33)

Various translocations involving the PDGFRB gene are identified in myeloid neoplasms. However, the PRKG2/PDGFRB fusion gene associated with t(4;5)(q21;q33) has previously been reported in only 3 patients. We present the case of a 26-year-old woman with microcytic anemia, basophilia, thrombocytosis, and massive splenomegaly, who was found to have systemic mastocytosis and associated clonal hemat...

PDGFRB-rearranged T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma occurring with myeloid neoplasms: the missing link supporting a stem cell origin.

The 2008 WHO classification scheme of hematolymphoid neoplasms recognizes a category of myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms (MLNs) with eosinophilia and abnormalities of PDGFRA, PDGFRB, or FGFR1. The postulated cell of origin for PDGFRA or FGFR1-rearranged diseases is a pluripotent progenitor capable of giving rise to myeloid neoplasms (myeloproliferative neoplasms and acute leukemias) and to lympho...

Hyper eosinophilia associated with myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms

Eosinophilia in the absence of allergies, asthma, drug reactions, parasitic infections and connective tissue diseases can be eosinophilic clonal disorders, lymphoma or myeloproliferative disorders. Hypereosinophilia with the persistence of eosinophils ≥1500 /mm³ in blood or more than 20% of eosinophils in the bone marrow may be observed in many reactive or clonal disorders, the result of which ...
