The 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome (EMS) also known as stem cell leukemia-lymphoma syndrome (SCLL) is associated with translocations that disrupt FGFR1. The resultant fusion proteins are constitutively active tyrosine kinases, and different FGFR1 fusions are associated with subtly different disease phenotypes. We report here a patient with a t(8;17)(p11;q23) and an unusual myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative disease (MDS/MPD) characterized by thrombocytopenia due to markedly reduced size and numbers of megakaryocytes, with elevated numbers of monocytes, eosinophils and basophils. A novel mRNA fusion between exon 32 of the myosin XVIIIA gene (MYO18A) at chromosome band 17q11 and exon 9 of FGFR1 was identified. Partial characterization of the genomic breakpoints in combination of bubble-PCR with fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed that the t(8;17) arose from a three-way translocation with breaks at 8p11, 17q11 and 17q23. MYO18A-FGFR1 is structurally similar to other fusion tyrosine kinases and is likely to be the causative transforming lesion in this unusual MDS/MPD.

Background: The 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome (EMS), a rare disorder characterized by translocations and interchanges at chromosome 8p11, is usually refractory to chemotherapy, and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is currently the only promising treatment for long-term remission. Among 14 translocation partners associated with EMS, t(1;8)(q25;p11) are very uncommon, with only four cases previously reported in peer-reviewed journals in English.

8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome (EMS) is a rare and aggressive hematological malignancy, characterized by myeloproliferative neoplasms, and associated with eosinophilia and T- or B-cell lineage lymphoblastic lymphoma. The pathogenesis is defined by the presence of chromosomal translocations associated with the fibroblast growth factor-1 () gene, located in the 8p11-12.1 chromosomal locus.

8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome is a rare hematological malignancy caused by the translocation of FGFR1. Patients present with a myeloproliferative neoplasm that frequently transforms into acute myeloid leukemia or T-lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia. Here, we report a molecular study of a patient with 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome who developed acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia and then transformed to mixed-phenotype acute leukemia.
