Myeloproliferative neoplasms with eosinophilia are commonly characterized by a normal karyotype and remain poorly defined at the molecular level. We therefore investigated 426 samples from patients with hypereosinophilia of unknown significance initially referred for screening of the FIP1L1-PDGFRA (FP) fusion gene also for KIT D816V and JAK2 V617F mutations. Overall, 86 (20%) patients tested positive: FP+ in 55...
