    AML with t(4; 12)(q12; p13): A Detailed Genomic and Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Genomic Breakpoint Heterogeneity, Absence of Pdgfra Fusion Transcripts and Presence of Pdgfra Overexpression in a Subset of Cases (ASH 2023)
    Analysis of AML with t(4; 12)(q12; p13) translocation by WGS and WTS provides detailed information that separates two subsets distinguished by distinct breakpoint cluster regions on 4q12 and PDGFRA gene expression. The clinical impact of increased PDGFRA gene expression on response to TKI and prognosis as well as the presence of additional fusion transcripts has to be evaluated in further studies.

    Integration of genomic sequencing drives therapeutic targeting of PDGFRA in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoblastic lymphoma. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
    Refractory T-ALL has not been fully characterized. Alterations in PDGFRA or other targetable kinases may inform therapy for patients with refractory T-ALL who otherwise have limited treatment options. Clinical genomic profiling, in real time, is needed for fully informed therapeutic decision making.

    Gliomas in adolescents and young adults – experience of cases presented at national AYA multi-disciplinary rounds (SNO 2023)
    Within national rounds, there was enrichment of pediatric-type tumors and patients with cancer predisposition syndromes. Targeted agents are available for many of these driver mutations with potential improved outcomes; however, access to these agents in AYA may be limited. Clinicians face complex management questions in this population and underscores the need for a multi-disciplinary approach along with clinical trial opportunities for these patients.

    Utility of Next-Generation Sequencing in the Detection of RNA Fusion Genes in Myeloid Malignancies in Singapore (ASH 2023)
    Conclusion We have demonstrated that NGS has a high sensitivity for identification of RNA fusion genes, is complementary to conventional cytogenetics testing, and has vast clinical impact in terms of diagnosis, prognostication and clinical management. We advocate for the integration of NGS with DNA and RNA sequencing into routine investigation of suspected myeloid malignancies for a more precise and comprehensive diagnostic approach.

    RNA Fusions and Their Association with DNA Alterations in Myeloid Neoplasia Patients Identified By a Single Tube Multimodal Comprehensive Genomic Profiling Test (ASH 2023)
    A robust low-noise RNA fusion detection assay coupled us DNA alterations on myeloid disorders in a single assay enables to fully molecularly characterize acute myeloid leukemias and other myeloid disorders. Frequencies of well-known fusions in a small community-based cohort were similar to studies performed in academic settings with subsets of gene alterations being mutually exclusive from fusions. Larger studies are needed to confirm those associations.

    FIP1L1::PDGFRA-positive chronic eosinophilic leukemia showing slowly progressive cardiac impairment (PubMed, Rinsho Ketsueki)
    We initiated imatinib (100 mg/day), and the eosinophilia disappeared in a month...This case is valuable because it shows the long-term course of the disease, with 15 years of laboratory findings until diagnosis. Our findings suggest that in cases of eosinophilia with an abnormal electrocardiogram, contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging should be considered earlier.

    Fusion Gene Detection and Quantification by Asymmetric Capture Sequencing (aCAP-Seq). (PubMed, J Mol Diagn)
    Fusion quantification was linear from 50% to 0.1% and breakpoint locations and sequences identified by NGS were concordant with results obtained by Sanger sequencing. Finally, this new sensitive and cost efficient NGS method allowed integrated analysis of resistant chronic myeloid leukemia patients and will thus be of interest to elucidate the mutational landscape and the clonal architecture of myeloid malignancies driven by these fusion genes at diagnosis, relapse, or progression.

    CML-216 Hypereosinophilia Syndrome With FIP1L1-PDGFRA Transcript Revealed by Cardiac Involvement. (PubMed, Clin Lymphoma Myeloma Leuk)
    Chronic eosinophilic leukemia with FIP1L1-PDGFRA can be serious and fatal in the event of diagnostic delay and the nature of the affected organ. Patients with clinical manifestations consistent with HES should be investigated for evidence of clonality of hematopoiesis and a search for a T-lymphocyte population for treatment decisions.

    The patient was on oxygen and was started on dexamethasone for the hypereosinophilia. We initiated first-line chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel...She received second-line treatment with mFOLFIRINOX for 12 cycles...It is characterized by a more aggressive disease and dismal outcome. Clinicians must be aware of this condition and must exclude all other causes of hypereosinophilia before making this diagnosis.

    t(4;12)(q12;p13) ETV6-rearranged AML without eosinophilia does not involve PDGFRA: relevance for imatinib insensitivity. (PubMed, Blood Adv)
    Our findings highlight the importance of using a sequencing-based assay to confirm the presence of targetable gene fusions, particularly in genomic regions such as 4q12 with many clinically relevant genes that are too close to resolve by chromosome or FISH analysis. Finally, combining our data and review of the literature, we show that sequence-confirmed ETV6-PDGFRA fusions are typically found in eosinophilic disorders (3 of 3 cases), and patients with t(4;12)(q12;p13) without eosinophilia are found to have other 4q12 partners on sequencing (17 of 17 cases).

    [VIRTUAL] An interesting case highlighting the need to test for JAK2 fusions (BSH 2021)
    The patient was initially treated with hydroxycarbamide pending approval for ruxolitinib whilst being worked up for allogeneic stem cell transplant...JAK2 fusions are thought to be associated with a more aggressive clinical course than other chronic myeloid malignancies, and as such allogeneic stem cell transplant is considered the most appropriate treatment where possible, with ruxolitinib being utilised as a bridge to transplant, by improving remission rate prior to the transplantation. Given the distinct clinical and pathological characteristics, as illus- trated in this case, we believe testing for a JAK2 fusions should be considered in otherwise unclassifiable myeloid / lymphoid neoplasms, especially those with eosinophilia.
