Approximately half of cases demonstrate rearrangements resulting in overexpression of CRLF2<ref name=":7" />. These rearrangements are the result of either translocation of immunoglobin heavy chain enhance locus into ''CRLF2'' (''IGH''-''CRLF2''—more commonly seen in adults) or through a cryptic deletion on chromosome X/Y involving the PAR1 psuedoautosomal region, resulting in fusion of ''CRLF2'' to ''P2RY8'' (more commonly seen in children). Very rare alternative translocations involving ''CRLF2'' have also been observed.
