| Disease | Myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) with eosinophilia (or chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL)) and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) |
| Epidemiology | 4 cases of MPD with eosinophilia, and 1 case of ALL; because the phenotypes are different, it may be that genes involved in this/these disease(s) are not similar; PDE4DIP and PDFRGB were found involved in MPD with eosinophilia (see below). |
| Clinics | MPD cases were found in 3 infants (aged 5, 7, and 11 mths), and one young adult, aged 21 yrs; sex ratio was 1/1. The ALL case was a 13 yr old boy. |
| Prognosis | One MPD case died 9 mths after diagnosis, another one was alive at 14 mths+, one was alive and well 7 yrs after diagnosis with IFN therapy, and one was found resistant to various treatments, including IFN therapy, until -because PDGFRB was found to be involved in the disease- imatinib was started and remission obtained. The ALL case experienced difficult remission, relapse, BM transplantation, CNS relapse; the parents finally refused further therapy and the patient died. |
