Tyrosine kinase-type translocations are common and involve ''ABL1'' and other kinases (such as ''ABL2'', ''EPOR'', ''JAK2'', ''PDGFRB'', and ''CSF1R''); more than 30 gene partners have been described. Frequently reported examples include ''IGH''–''EPOR'' of the t(14;19)(q32;p13)/ins(14;19)(q32;p13), ''EBF1''–''PDGFRB'' of the del(5)(q32q33.3), ''NUP214''–''ABL1'' of the t(9;9)(q34;q34)/del(9)(q34q34), and ''ETV6''–''ABL1'' of the t(9;12)(q34;p13). Other notable fusions are ''BCR''–''JAK2'', ''PAX5''–''JAK2'', ''STRN3''–''JAK2'', ''RANBP2''–''ABL1'', ''RCSD1''–''ABL1'', and ''MEF2D''–''CSF1R''<ref>Heim S & Mitelman F.

Approximately half of cases demonstrate rearrangements resulting in overexpression of CRLF2<ref name=":7" />. These rearrangements are the result of either translocation of immunoglobin heavy chain enhance locus into ''CRLF2'' (''IGH''-''CRLF2''—more commonly seen in adults) or through a cryptic deletion on chromosome X/Y involving the PAR1 psuedoautosomal region, resulting in fusion of ''CRLF2'' to ''P2RY8'' (more commonly seen in children). Very rare alternative translocations involving ''CRLF2'' have also been observed.

Cancer Category / Type

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Cancer Sub-Classification / Subtype

B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, BCR-ABL1-like

Definition / Description of Disease

In 2009, a high-risk subgroup of B-ALL was identified in children, adolescents, and young adults[1][2][3]. The genetic expression is similar to that of BCR-ABL1-positive cases, but without t(9;22)(q34.1;q11.2). Instead, BCR-ABL-1-like B-ALL is a genetically heterogenous disease, often with alterations activating cytokine receptors and tyrosine kinases. Several genetic expression profiles were initially utilized to recognize cases[1][2], however, different profiles did not always identify the same patients[4]. Although emerging data advocates the therapeutic use of tyrosine kinase or JAK inhibitors in this disease process, BCR-ABL-like B-ALL is often associated with very high rates of relapse and poor overall survival; thus proper diagnosis is essential[5].

Synonyms / Terminology

Ph-like B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma

Epidemiology / Prevalence

  • Ph-like ALL comprises up to 15% of childhood B-ALL, and 20 to 25% in adolescents and young adults[6].
  • The incidence in adult patients is controversial—from 13-17% to up to 33% in some reports[7][8][9].
  • Higher rates of disease are observed in Hispanic and Native-American populations, and among children with Down syndrome[10].

The presenting symptoms are similar to those of other ALL patients, with the exception of potentially higher white blood cell counts[11].

Sites of Involvement

Bone marrow

Morphologic Features

There are no morphological or cytochemical features that aid in the diagnosis. Blasts range from small to large and chromatin varying from immature to more mature, corresponding to French-American-British classification L1 or L2 subtype[12].

Tyrosine kinase-type translocations are common and involve ABL1 and other kinases (such as ABL2, EPOR, JAK2, PDGFRB, and CSF1R); more than 30 gene partners have been described. Frequently reported examples include IGHEPOR of the t(14;19)(q32;p13)/ins(14;19)(q32;p13), EBF1PDGFRB of the del(5)(q32q33.3), NUP214ABL1 of the t(9;9)(q34;q34)/del(9)(q34q34), and ETV6ABL1 of the t(9;12)(q34;p13). Other notable fusions are BCRJAK2, PAX5JAK2, STRN3JAK2, RANBP2ABL1, RCSD1ABL1, and MEF2DCSF1R[13].

Please incorporate this section into the relevant tables found in:
  • Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)
  • Individual Region Genomic Gain/Loss/LOH
  • Characteristic Chromosomal Patterns
  • Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)
  • Diagnosis: Definitive diagnosis is based on two major gene expression signatures (DCOG/Erasmus MC and COG/St. Jude).
    • DCOG/Erasmus MC incorporates hierarchal clustering of microarrays using a 110-gene probe set; this genetic signature frequently detected deletions in IKZF1, dic(9;20), and iAMP21 in BCR-ABL1-like B-ALL[1].
    • COG/St. Jude employs predictive analysis of microarrays using a 257-gene probe set; this genetic signature demonstrated primarily activating kinase or cytokine receptor signaling alterations, in addition to IKZF1 deletions[2].
  • Prognosis: In both pediatric and adult populations, BCR-ABL1-like B-ALL is associated with high rates of relapse and poor prognosis.
    • The median 5-year overall survival rates for children with BCR-ABL1-like B-ALL, adolescents, and young adults was 72.8%, 65.8%, and 25.8%, respectively[6].
    • Median 5-year-overall survival in adults was 22%, versus 64% in comparable patients with non-BCR-ABL1, non-BCR-ABL1-like, and non-MLL translocation B-ALL[8].
  • Therapeutic Implications: Due to the aggressive nature of the disease, patients are often treated with high-intensity chemotherapy regimens, such as hyper-CVAD or an augmented Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster regimen[9].
    • However, given the high incidence of fusions involving JAK2, ABL1, ABL2, and other tyrosine kinases, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and JAK inhibitors are now being trialed clinically[6][14][15].

Approximately half of cases demonstrate rearrangements resulting in overexpression of CRLF2[12]. These rearrangements are the result of either translocation of immunoglobin heavy chain enhance locus into CRLF2 (IGH-CRLF2—more commonly seen in adults) or through a cryptic deletion on chromosome X/Y involving the PAR1 psuedoautosomal region, resulting in fusion of CRLF2 to P2RY8 (more commonly seen in children). Very rare alternative translocations involving CRLF2 have also been observed.

In addition to gene translocations, gain-of-function mutations in CRLF2 itself or in its partner gene, IL7RA, have been seen[16]. Alternative alterations activating kinase signaling occur, including activating mutations of FLT3, as well as focal deletions of SH2B3 (also known as LNK)[17].

Herold et al. in 2017 reported a wide variety of molecular alterations in BCR-ABL1-like B-ALL, which was shown to have statistically significant associations with alterations of IKZF1, CRLF2, JAK2, BTG1, and high CRLF2 expression[8].

  • IKAROS transcription factor: Deletion of IKZF1 results in activation of EBF1, MSH2, and MCL1, leading to B-cell leukemogenesis[18].
  • CRLF2 overexpression: CRFL2 and its cofactor IL7RA form a receptor for thymic stromal-derived lymphopoietin that activates the JAK2-signal transducer and upregulates the transcription 5 pathway[16].
  • Dysregulation of several tyrosine kinase signaling pathways (involving ABL1, ABL2, PDGFRB, CSF1, etc.) results in B-cell progenitor proliferation.

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

  • Flow cytometry for CRLF2 has been shown in some studies to be 100% concordant with FISH results[12].
  • Next-generation sequencing is helpful for detecting copy number changes, single nucleotide variants, and gene fusions involving CRLF2, ABL1, ABL2, JAK2, etc.
  • Gene expression profile algorithms, incorporating prediction analysis or hierarchical clustering of microarrays, provide the definitive diagnosis of BCR-ABL1-like B-ALL.

Familial Forms

Families with certain inherited variants of GATA3 (often seen in Native-American populations) are at increased risk of BCR-ABL1-like B-ALL[19].
