We report a rare pediatric chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) case of an 8-year-old male whose leukemic cells carried t(1; 5)(q21; q33) chromosomal abnormality. Sequencing analysis confirmed a TPM3-PDGFRB fusion, and the breakpoint was the same as adult patient. Targeted therapy with imatinib induced a rapid hematologic response and reduction of TPM3-PDGFRB transcripts as monitored by reverse transcription real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). We then established an RT-qPCR assay applicable to detection of all possible PDGFRB fusions and also validated this assay in the patient. These data should provide a valuable reference for management of pediatric CEL.
我们报告了一例罕见的儿童慢性嗜酸性白血病(CEL)病例,该患者为 8 岁男性,其白血病细胞携带 t(1; 5)(q21; q33)染色体异常。测序分析证实存在 TPM3-PDGFRB 融合,且断点与成人患者相同。伊马替尼的靶向治疗诱导了快速血液学反应,并通过逆转录实时 PCR(RT-qPCR)监测到 TPM3-PDGFRB 转录本的减少。然后,我们建立了一种适用于检测所有可能的 PDGFRB 融合的 RT-qPCR 检测方法,并在该患者中进行了验证。这些数据应为儿童 CEL 的治疗提供有价值的参考。
