Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor and Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor Abnormalities in Eosinophilic Myeloproliferative Disorders
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Rearrangements of the genes encoding the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) and platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFR) alpha or beta receptor tyrosine kinases are found in a rare but important subset of patients with atypical myeloproliferative disorders that are usually but not always associated with eosinophilia. Chromosomal translocations or other rearrangements at 8p11-12, 4q12 or 5q31-33...
