• FISH analysis (with PDGFRB probe) is indicated
in all patients with presumptive diagnosis of
MPN.
• RT-PCR, using primers suitable for all known
breakpoint is recommended to confirm ETV6-
PDGFRB .
• FISH analysis dose not always demonstrate
rearrangement of PDGFRB even when it is
detectable on Southern Blot analysis
• But molecular studies are not indicated if there
is no 5q31~33 breakpoint on classical
cytogenetic analysis
• Not all translocations characterized as t(5;12)
(q31~33;p12) leads to ETV6- PDGFRB fusion.
• Cases without a fusion gene are not of this
category of MNP and are not likely to respond
to imatinib.
• But if molecular analysis is not available, a trail
of imatinib is justified in patients with an MPN
associated with t(5;12).
