Definition / Description of Disease

A hematologic neoplasm comprised of pluripotent (lymphoid-myeloid) stem cells characteristically seen with eosinophilia that result from the formation of a fusion between the PCM1 and JAK2 genes, leading to the expression of an aberrant tyrosine kinase. Due to its pluripotent nature, the hematologic stem cells can give rise to eosinophils, neutrophils, B-lymphoid and T-lymphoid cells. The presence of eosinophilia is not required for the diagnosis.[1][2][3]

Synonyms / Terminology

Chronic eosinophilic leukemia with PCM1/JAK2

PCM1/JAK2 –associated chronic eosinophilic leukemia

Myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms associated with JAK2 rearrangement

JAK2-associated Hypereosinophilic syndrome

Myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms with JAK2 rearrangement

Myeloproliferative variant of the hypereosinophilic syndrome

Epidemiology / Prevalence

This disease is rare; the incidence of hypereosinophilia in general is only 0.036 per 100,000 and genetic causes represent only a small portion of these[4]There is a significant male predominance with a median age of 47 years old (age range 7-77)[1] As of August 2018, only 40 cases had been reported[5]

Clinical Features

Put your text here and fill in the table (Instruction: Can include references in the table. Do not delete table.)

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.

Patients typically present with features of a myeloproliferative disorder or MDS/MPN and most have eosinophilia and/or bone marrow fibrosis[5][6]. Patients in chronic phase tend to progress to AML quickly; some present with de novo acute leukemia, either myeloid or lymphoid[6][5] 

In general, patients with this disorder have weakness/fatigue (~26%), cough (~24%), myaligias/angioedema (~14%), rash or fever (~12%) and rhinitis (~10%)[7] ; lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly are common[5]

Sites of Involvement

Peripheral blood and bone marrow

Morphologic Features

Patients often have a hypercellular bone marrow with increased eosinophils and fibrosis[1][5].Increased granuolpoiesis with eosinophilia and neutrophil precursors, including myeloblasts[1][5]. Dyserythropoiesis and dysgranulopoiesis are not typical but may be observed[1][5] Increased lymphoblasts may also be seen with blast cells having high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratios and open chromatin. If eosinophilia is present, it is comprised mainly of mature eosinophils with scattered immature forms. Eosinophilic abnormalities can be seen and include sparse granulation with small forms, vacuoles in the cytoplasm, increased eosinophil size, and nuclear hypo- and hypersegmentation.

Immunophenotype

Put your text here and fill in the table (Instruction: Can include references in the table. Do not delete table.)

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

IHC can be used to characterize acute myeloid transformation and myeloblasts express dim CD45, dim CD34, dim CD117, HLA-DR, dim CD33, and dim CD13[1]. In addition, For the cases with lymphoid components, IHC can assist with assessment and show dim CD19 and dim CD10, consistent with lymphoblast lineage[1][5].

Please incorporate this section into the relevant tables found in:
  • Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)
  • Individual Region Genomic Gain/Loss/LOH

  • Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)

Most patients present with MPN with variable degrees of eosinophilia in blood and/or bone marrow, frequent marrow fibrosis, and large aggregates of immature erythroid precursors, and clinically exhibit hepatosplenomegagly and lymphadenopathy[5]. However, diagnosis may be difficult in cases without obvious eosinophilia.

Due to the variations in presentation, the prognosis is mainly dependent on the phase at presentation, but generally tends to have an aggressive course1. There currently are no approved therapies for PCM1/JAK2-mediated myeloid/lymphoid neoplasm with eosinophilia; however, JAK2 inhibitors have been approved for other hematopoietic neoplasms with constitutively activated JAK2 kinases.2

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

PCM1 (pericentriolar material 1) is a protein present in cytoplasmic granules and can be found in association with the centrosome. PCM1 is indirectly responsible for microtubule anchoring, which is necessary for a variety of cellular functions, including intracellular transport and cell division. The gene is located at band 8p22 and includes 41 exons.5

JAK2 (janus kinase 2) is a tyrosine kinase responsible for activation of the JAK-STAT pathway by mediating tyrosine phosphorylation, leading to cell proliferation and differentiation. Constitutive activation of JAK2 can result from chromosomal translocations and lead to uncontrolled proliferation of hematopoietic cells. The gene is located at band 9p24.1 and includes 25 exons.6

The PCM1-JAK2 fusion product retains the coiled-coil domains of PCM1 and the activating tyrosine kinase domain of JAK2. Thus PCM1-JAK2 fusion produces an aberrant tyrosine kinase that results in constitutive activation of the JAK2–STAT pathway[6]

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

Diagnosis of this entity is made when a chromosome analysis showing a t(8;9) correlates with the clinical and morphological phenotype of the patient and/or when the fusion is confirmed by ancillary testing. FISH with a dual color, dual fusion probe for PCM1-JAK2 and sequencing of RNA to detect the functional fusion are the most commonly used methods to confirm this diagnosis. FISH with a JAK2 break-apart probe may also provide useful information to confirm a diagnosis.

However, because the clinical presentation can vary and this disease can show many overlapping morphological features of other entities, the PCM1-JAK2 fusion or 8;9 translocation may be detected without overt suspicion. Therefore, agnostic genomic methods such as large panels of RNA fusions known to be associated with myeloid or lymphoid malignancies, whole exome/genome sequencing and occasionally chromosomal microarray analysis may provide evidence for this diagnosis.

Familial Forms

No familial forms have been documented.
