Abstract
This work describes, to our knowledge, the first reported case of a patient with an MDS/MPN overlap syndrome harboring a novel KRAS::ETNK1 fusion transcript. The disease initially presented with eosinophilia, megakaryocyte expansion, mast cell infiltration, and a background of typical MDS/MPN-associated mutations (ASXL1, TET2, EZH2, BCOR, and SETBP1). Following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the fusion-bearing clone disappeared due to a chromosome 12p deletion, and the disease evolved into secondary AML with distinct molecular drivers (MYB, EP300, FAT1, and GATA2). This case provides new insights into rare genetic alterations in MDS/MPN, possible mechanisms of immune-mediated clonal selection after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, and the dynamics of leukemic evolution. Trial Registration: The authors have confirmed clinical trial registration is not needed for this submission.
