I am not an expert at all on what specific translocations mean, but from what I understand, translocations are not considered normal, it just may mean that either we don't know of any prognostic significance like the mutations noted on the IPSS and IPSS-R, or they are so rare that there hasn't been any correlation to prognosis that would be statistically valid.
