This page was converted to the new template on 2023-12-07. The original page can be found at HAEM4:Myeloid/Lymphoid Neoplasms with PDGFRA Rearrangement.

(General Instructions – The focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. This is based on up-to-date knowledge from multiple resources such as PubMed and the WHO classification books. The CCGA is meant to be a supplemental resource to the WHO classification books; the CCGA captures in a continually updated wiki-stye manner the current genetics/genomics knowledge of each disease, which evolves more rapidly than books can be revised and published. If the same disease is described in multiple WHO classification books, the genetics-related information for that disease will be consolidated into a single main page that has this template (other pages would only contain a link to this main page). Use HUGO-approved gene names and symbols (italicized when appropriate), HGVS-based nomenclature for variants, as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them (add N/A if not applicable in the table and delete the examples); to add (or move) a row or column in a table, click nearby within the table and select the > symbol that appears. Please do not delete or alter the section headings. The use of bullet points alongside short blocks of text rather than only large paragraphs is encouraged. Additional instructions below in italicized blue text should not be included in the final page content. Please also see Author_Instructions and FAQs as well as contact your Associate Editor or Technical Support.)

Driver Gene Fusion(s) and Common Partner Genes Molecular Pathogenesis Typical Chromosomal Alteration(s) Prevalence -Common >20%, Recurrent 5-20% or Rare <5% (Disease) Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Therapeutic Significance - D, P, T Established Clinical Significance Per Guidelines - Yes or No (Source) Clinical Relevance Details/Other Notes
EXAMPLE: ABL1 EXAMPLE: BCR::ABL1 EXAMPLE: The pathogenic derivative is the der(22) resulting in fusion of 5’ BCR and 3’ABL1. EXAMPLE: t(9;22)(q34;q11.2) EXAMPLE: Common (CML) EXAMPLE: D, P, T EXAMPLE: Yes (WHO, NCCN) EXAMPLE:

The t(9;22) is diagnostic of CML in the appropriate morphology and clinical context (add reference). This fusion is responsive to targeted therapy such as Imatinib (Gleevec) (add reference). BCR::ABL1 is generally favorable in CML (add reference).

EXAMPLE: CIC EXAMPLE: CIC::DUX4 EXAMPLE: Typically, the last exon of CIC is fused to DUX4. The fusion breakpoint in CIC is usually intra-exonic and removes an inhibitory sequence, upregulating PEA3 genes downstream of CIC including ETV1, ETV4, and ETV5. EXAMPLE: t(4;19)(q25;q13) EXAMPLE: Common (CIC-rearranged sarcoma) EXAMPLE: D EXAMPLE:

DUX4 has many homologous genes; an alternate translocation in a minority of cases is t(10;19), but this is usually indistinguishable from t(4;19) by short-read sequencing (add references).

EXAMPLE: ALK EXAMPLE: ELM4::ALK


Other fusion partners include KIF5B, NPM1, STRN, TFG, TPM3, CLTC, KLC1

EXAMPLE: Fusions result in constitutive activation of the ALK tyrosine kinase. The most common ALK fusion is EML4::ALK, with breakpoints in intron 19 of ALK. At the transcript level, a variable (5’) partner gene is fused to 3’ ALK at exon 20. Rarely, ALK fusions contain exon 19 due to breakpoints in intron 18. EXAMPLE: N/A EXAMPLE: Rare (Lung adenocarcinoma) EXAMPLE: T EXAMPLE:

Both balanced and unbalanced forms are observed by FISH (add references).

EXAMPLE: ABL1 EXAMPLE: N/A EXAMPLE: Intragenic deletion of exons 2–7 in EGFR removes the ligand-binding domain, resulting in a constitutively active tyrosine kinase with downstream activation of multiple oncogenic pathways. EXAMPLE: N/A EXAMPLE: Recurrent (IDH-wildtype Glioblastoma) EXAMPLE: D, P, T

The responsiveness of F/P associated myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms to imatinib mesylate is well documented [10]. Adverse outcomes are typically related to late presentation, where irreversible organ damage precedes diagnosis, or when the disease is diagnosed in an accelerated phase when complications are more likely. Induction dosing of imatinib ranges from 100-400 mg daily, with much lower maintenence dosing recommended to prevent relapse [11] [12]. Complete hematologic and molecular remission is observed in nearly all patients taking imatinib, usually within 3 months. [13] [14] [15] Imatinib maintains efficacy in accelerated or blast phase disease, and resistance is rare [16] [17].

editv4:Genes and Main Pathways Involved
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

the F/P tyrosine kinase is thought to become constitutively active in the setting of PDGRA juxtamembrane interruption as breakpoints in the PDGRA gene are tightly clustered, resulting in the removal of a portion of the juxtamembrane domain and activation of the kinase domain upon rearrangement. The role of the FIP1L1 in the neoplastic process is thought to be less significant. [20] The eosinophilic proliferation observed in these patients is thought to result from multiple signalling pathways including phosphoinositol 3-kinase, ERK 1/2 and STAT5, though the precise mechanism remains elusive. [21][22]

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with PDGFRA are diagnosed with a combination of morphologic, immunophenotypic and genomic modalities; typically with a bone marrow biopsy and peripheral blood smear review, preferably drawn prior to administration of high dose corticosteroids. Additional studies performed at the time of workup include CBC to quantify any abnormalities in other cell lines, tests of hepatic and renal function, troponin for evidence of myocarditis, vitamin B12, serum tryptase, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, and a high resolution chest CT for evidence of pulmonary involvement. [23] The diagnosis is made when the F/P fusion gene or a variant fusion gene with rearrangement of PDGFRA or an activating mutation of PDGFRA is identified in the setting of a myeloid or lymphoid neoplasm, usually with prominent eosinophilia [18].

The F/P fusion gene can be detected by reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) [1], or the deletion can be detected using a probe for the CHIC2 gene, or with a break apart probe encompassing FIP1L1 and PDGFRA. [18]
