Myeloid/Lymphoid Neoplasms with PDGFRB Rearrangement
Definition / Description of Disease
Gene fusions with PDGFRB were first described by Golub et al. in 1994 in a patient with features consistent with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML)[1]. Since that time, over 20 fusion partners have been described[2][3]. Myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and abnormalities of PDGFRB are rare, accounting for less than 2% of all myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN)[3].
Synonyms / Terminology
Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia with eosinophilia associated with t(5;12); myeloid neoplasms with PDGFRB rearrangement; myeloid neoplasms associated with PDGFRB rearrangement.
Epidemiology / Prevalence
This neoplasm is considerably more common in men than in women (male-to-female ratio: 2:1) and occurs over a wide age range (8-72 years), with peak incidence in middle-aged adults and a median age of onset in the late 40s[4].
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 FeaturesThe content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.Patients typically present with splenomegaly; hepatomegaly is less frequent. Lymphadenopathy may also be seen. Skin and cardiac infiltration may be present at diagnosis with resulting cardiac damage. Serum tryptase levels may be elevated.
Sites of Involvement
MPN associated with t(5;12)(q32;p13.2) is a multisystem disorder. The peripheral blood and bone marrow are always involved. The spleen is enlarged in most cases. Tissue infiltration by eosinophils and cytokine release, humoral factors, or granule contents by eosinophils can contribute to tissue damage in several organs[5].
Morphologic Features
In patients with abnormalities of PDGFRB, peripheral blood and bone marrow is almost always involved. Leukocytosis is typical with monocytosis and eosinophilia. Rarely, basophilia is also prominent. Anemia and thrombocytopenia may also be present. Overall, the features are typically suggestive of CMML with eosinophilia; however, some patients present with features more in keeping with aCML or CEL. Rarely, they present with features of ALL, AML, and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML)[6].

Before the introduction of imatinib therapy, the median survival was <2 years. Most patients are now known to have excellent morphologic and molecular response to therapy with a recent study showing a 10-year overall survival of 90%[7]. Furthermore, earlier diagnosis due to recognition of this entity will result in earlier initiation of appropriate therapy, preventing cardiac damage and blast phase. Primary and secondary resistance is uncommon; however, initial response typically occurs within 2 months, and if not seen by 3 months, consideration of another therapy is suggested. Whether or not therapy can be stopped in patients with long term molecular remission is still up for debate, with a recent article citing one patient in remission 4 years after therapy cessation[8].

This leads to oligomerization at the pointed domain, constituently active phosphorylation, and activation of STAT proteins[9].

editv4:Genes and Main Pathways InvolvedThe content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.PDGFRB encodes a plasma membrane-spanning receptor with five extracellular immunoglobulin-like loops for ligand binding and a split intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. Signal transduction is very similar, with ligand binding inducing dimerization and autophosphorylation of the tyrosine kinase. In addition to its role in embryonic development, PDGFRB mediates chemotactic responses of monocytes, macrophages, and platelets to inflammatory processes. Overexpression has been implicated in solid tumors, such as medulloblastoma and chordoma[10].
Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods
FISH (break-apart FISH with a PDGFRB probe) is indicated in all patients with a presumptive diagnosis of MPN with a 5q31-33 breakpoint, in particular if there is eosinophilia. However, FISH analysis does not always demonstrate rearrangement of PDGFRB even when such rearrangement is detectable on Southern blot anaylsis[4]. Molecular analysis is not indicated when no 5q31-33 breakpoint is found by conventional cytogenetic analysis, because almost all cases reported to date in which 20 metaphases were available for examination have had a cytogenetically detectable abnormality[5].
