Clinics and Pathology

Disease

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with hypereosinophilia

Phenotype / cell stem origin

CD19+, CD10+ ALL; eosinophils are not part of the leukemic cells and do not carry the t(5;14); they represent a reactive population (eosinophilia in association with ALL is usually reactive)

Epidemiology

rarely described; 6M/1F; affects both children and adults, general features of ALL with hypereosinophilia are rarity, male predominance; and young age

Cytology

marked eosinophilia; basophilia; IL3 is over-expressed

Prognosis

prognosis appears to be poor, a feature of ALLs with hypereosinophilia

Cytogenetics

Additional anomalies

sole anomaly or accompanied with various secondary anomalies: +X, (i(7q), del(12p), +19

Genes involved and Proteins

Gene Name

IL3

Location

5q31

Protein

152 amino acids; growth factor; colony stimulating factor involved in the survival, proliferation and differentiation of multipotent hematopoietic cells

Gene Name

IgH

Location

14q32

Result of the chromosomal anomaly

Hybrid gene

Description

break in the promoter region of IL3 and in the Jh region of IgH

Fusion Protein
