Definition / Description of Disease

Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia, BCR-ABL1-negative (aCML) presents with myelodysplastic as well as myeloproliferative features at the time of disease onset[1][2]. The characteristic finding is blood leukocytosis with increase of dysplastic neutrophils and immature granulocytes. Bone marrow shows multilineage dysplasia.

  • Before the diagnosis of aCML can be rendered, myeloid neoplasms with well defined genetic abnormalities such as BCR-ABL1 fusion; rearrangement of PDGFRA, PDGFRB, FGFR1, or PCM1-JAK2 must be ruled out.
  • Myeloid neoplasm with features of aCML developed after chemo or radiation therapy is classified as therapy-related myeloid neoplasm.

Synonyms / Terminology

Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia, Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-)

Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia, BCR-ABL1-negative

Epidemiology / Prevalence

The incidence of aCML is low; it is estimated that there are 1-2 aCML cases for every 100 cases of BCR-ABL1-positive chronic myeloid leukemia[3][4].

The median patient age at diagnosis is in the seventh or eighth decade of life[4][5][6]. Rare cases of aCML has also been reported in teenagers. The reported male-to female ratio is approximately 1:1[1].

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.

The primary symptoms are related to splenomegaly and blood cell changes like anemia and/or thrombocytopenia[5][7][6].

Sites of Involvement

  • Blood and bone marrow are always involved.
  • Involvement of spleen and liver is common.

Morphologic Features

BLOOD:

  • The white blood cell count (WBC) ≥13 x 109/L, cases >300 x 109/L have been reported.
  • Immature granulocytes, including promyelocytes, myelocytes, and metamyelocytes ≥10% of the leukocytes.
  • Monocytes <10%.
  • Mild basophilia.
  • Dysplastic features observed in granulocytes:
    • Acquired Pelger-Huët anomaly
    • Other nuclear abnormalities (hypersegmentation with abnormally clumped nuclear chromatin or bizarrely segmented nuclei)
    • Multiple nuclear projections
    • Abnormal cytoplasmic granularity (usually hypogranularity).
  • The syndrome of abnormal chromatin clumping is considered to be a morphologic variant of aCML[8].
    • Neutrophil nuclei show large well-separated blocks of heterochromatin and euchromatin
  • Anemia and thrombocytopenia are common.
 
Blood smear. 600X (Wright stain)

BONE MARROW:

  • Hypercellular with markedly increased myeloid-to-erythroid ratio (usually >10:1)
  • Features of trilineage dysplasia
    • Dyserythropoiesis is present in about 40% of cases.
    • Dysgranulopoiesis with the changes in the neutrophil lineage similar to those in the blood.
    • Megakaryocytes quantitatively variable, usually normal or increased, frequently with dysmegakaryopoiesis, including micromegakaryocytes and small megakaryocytes with hypolobated nuclei.
  • Mild fibrosis seen in some cases; may be more conspicuous with disease progression.

By definition, blasts <20% of blood leukocytes (usually <5%) and <20% of bone marrow nucleated cells.

 
Bone marrow aspirate smear, 200X (Wright stain).
 
Bone marrow biopsy, 100X (H&E stain).

Positive (subset) EXAMPLE: CD2
Negative (universal) EXAMPLE: CD3
Negative (subset) EXAMPLE: CD4


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

No specific immunophenotypic characteristics (flow cytometric analysis of blood and bone marrow usually report as normal, except mildly increased myeloblasts in some cases).

Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)

Put your text here and fill in the table

Chromosomal Rearrangement Genes in Fusion (5’ or 3’ Segments) Pathogenic Derivative Prevalence Diagnostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Prognostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Therapeutic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Notes

editv4:Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

None.


editv4:Clinical Significance (Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapeutic Implications).
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)

Genetic abnormalities and mutations in related genes provide evidence of a clonal process to support a neoplastic process. However, they are not specific for aCML.

The prognostic value of molecular/genetic abnormalities are not well studied yet.

Approximately 20-40% of aCML evolves to acute myeloid leukemia[4]; most of the remaining patients die of marrow failure[7][9].

Predictors of worse prognosis:

  • Age > 65 years
  • Female sex
  • White blood cell count > 50 x 109/L, thrombocytopenia and hemoglobin level < 10 g/dL[9].
  • Increased blasts in blood and/or bone marrow.

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

Frequently involved:

  • Cell proliferation and survival (SETBP1)

Less commonly involved:

  • JAK/STAT pathway (JAK2)
  • PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK (CSF3R)

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

Blood cell counts and blood smear review (differential cell counts and dysplastic features).

Bone marrow aspirate smear review and biopsy histopathology (abnormal maturation pattern, blast percentage, etc.).

Molecular/genetic studies are of critical importance to establish clonal evidence and rule out other entities with well defined genetic abnormalities.

  • Chromosome analysis
  • Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to rule out PDGFRA, PDGFRB or FGFR1 rearrangement, BCR-ABL1 and PCM1-JAK2 fusion.
  • Next generation sequencing-based mutation profiling to detect mutations supporting a clonal process.
