The 67-year-old female patient presented with splenomegaly and leukocytosis (hemoglobin 151 g/L; leukocytes 13.6 × 109/L; eosinophils 0.4-0.65 × 109/L; platelets 136 × 109/L; no blasts). Cytogenetic analysis revealed trisomy 9 [47, XX, +9, 6/47, idem, del (13)(q13q21) 5/46,XX 4. nuc ish 9q34 (ABL × 3), 22q11(BCR × 2) 78/100].
BM indicates bone marrow; DGC, density gradient centrifugation; FACS, fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS; FACSAria, Becton Dickinson, NJ); LMD, laser microdissection (LMD, SmartCutPlus System based on a CKX41 inverse microscope, Olympus, Hamburg, Germany); and PB, peripheral blood.
Isolated from May-Grünwald-Giemsa–stained cytospins (Figure S2).
Isolated from bone marrow trephine sections.
Allele burden was determined by pyrosequencing (Biotage, Uppsala, Sweden) as recently described.5
