A Novel IL3-ETV6 Fusion in Chronic Eosinophilic Leukemia Not Otherwise Specified With t(5; 12) (q31; p13): A Case Report and Literature Review.

ABSTRACT: Chronic eosinophilic leukemia not otherwise specified (CEL-NOS) is classified as Myeloproliterative Neoplasms (MPN) and refers to chronic eosinophilic leukemia with some atypical recurrent genetic evidence(1). A rare fusion of ACSL6-ETV6 was previously identified in patients with the t(5;12) (q31; p13) karyotype(2). Here, we report a case of CEL-NOS with a translocation of t(5;12) (q31; p13) and identify IL3-ETV6 transcription, which has not been identified in hematologic diseases. In this patient, eosinophilia was observed. And compared with CEL-NOS patients without ETV6 fusion, a higher mRNA expression level of IL3 was found. After failing treatment with dasatinib, the patient was given hydroxyurea (HU). Subsequently his white blood cell (WBC) and eosin
