Here we describe a patient with a rare CML-like disease in whom we identified a novel in-frame BCR-PDGFRA rearrangement joining BCR exon 17 to PDGFRA exon 13, resulting in overexpression of PDGFRA.     ///    "The design of a specific quantitative PCR assay to monitor the molecular response during treatment with imatinib, a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with activity against ABL, c-Kit, and PDGFRA revealed an outstanding disease control with durably undetectable BCR-PDGFRA transcripts.
