Definition / Description of Disease

Myeloproliferative neoplasms associated with PDGFRA rearrangements are primary/neoplastic hypereosinophilic syndromes associated with recurrent rearrangements of the PDGFRA gene [1]. It is most commonly associated with FIP1L1-PDGFRA (F/P) fusion resulting from a cryptic deletion at 4q12, [2] and often presents as chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL), or less commonly, acute myeloid leukemia or T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. [3]

Epidemiology / Prevalence

The incidence and prevalence of myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with PDGFRA rearrangement is not well characterized as demographic data is scarce [5]. The incidence of HES of any cause is estimated at 0.036 per 100,000, [6] though cases in which a causative genetic abnormality constitute a minority of these cases [5]. The F/P rearrangement is the most common abnormality identified, and is estimated to comprise approximately 10% of patients with significant hypereosinophilia [7] [8]. The entity is recently described, and disorders once called idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome are now being classified with genetic testing as specific primary neoplasms or reactive conditions. The F/P rearrangment is significantly more common in males with a male:female ratio of about 17:1. The age range varies from ages 7-77 with most patients being between 25 and 55 years. [9]

Clinical Features

Signs and Symptoms EXAMPLE: Asymptomatic (incidental finding on complete blood counts)

EXAMPLE: B-symptoms (weight loss, fever, night sweats)

EXAMPLE: Fatigue

EXAMPLE: Lymphadenopathy (uncommon)

Laboratory Findings EXAMPLE: Cytopenias

EXAMPLE: Lymphocytosis (low level)


editv4:Clinical Features
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

Clinical presentation ranges from asymptomatic to fulminant, life threatening multi-system organ failure. Presenting signs and symptoms are typically related to eosinophilic infiltration, and consistent with hypereosinophilic syndromes of any cause. The largest clinical analysis of patients with hypereosinophilic syndromes (HES) demonstrated the following manifestations at presentation:[10]

  • Dermatologic (eg, rash) – 57 percent
  • Pulmonary (cough and breathlessness) – 25 percent
  • Gastrointestinal – 14 percent
  • Cardiac – <5 percent
  • Asymptomatic -- 6 percent

Neoplastic PDGFRA-associated hypereosinophilic syndromes are more likely to present with eosinophilic cardiopulmonary disease than HES of any cause. A survey of 44 cases demonstrated skin, spleen, lung, and heart involvement in 57, 52, 45, and 34 percent of cases respectively with a similar rate of asymptomatic cases. [11]

Sites of Involvement

Leukemia associated with F/P is a systemic disease occupying the bone marrow and peripheral blood. Neoplastic cells may infiltrate various tissues such as the heart, lungs, nervous systems, skin and GI tract resulting in degranulation and cytokine mediated injury. [1]

Morphologic Features

Histopathologic features are dependent on the organs involved. Eosinophilic infiltration is noted on diagnostic tissue biopsy. Eosinophilia and increased eosinophilic precursors can be identified on trephine bone marrow biopsy and peripheral blood smears. There is no histologic correlate to clonality, and genetic studies are required for diagnosis.

Immunophenotype

These neoplastic eosinophils may express markers of activation such as CD23, CD25, and CD69[4]. The basophils can sometimes be distinguished from those in systemic mastocytosis as CD2 is typically negative in the mast cells of PDGFRA rearrangement, but positive in systemic mastocytosis. [12][3]

The responsiveness of F/P associated myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms to imatinib mesylate is well documented [5]. 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 [22] [23]. Complete hematologic and molecular remission is observed in nearly all patients taking imatinib, usually within 3 months. [24] [25] [26] Imatinib maintains efficacy in accelerated or blast phase disease, and resistance is rare [11] [27].

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. [29] 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. [2][30]

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. [31] 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 [1].

The F/P fusion gene can be detected by reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) [13], or the deletion can be detected using a probe for the CHIC2 gene, or with a break apart probe encompassing FIP1L1 and PDGFRA. [1]
