JAK2 mutation

Improved survival was observed with transplantation in groups DP2, DP7, and DP9. These findings highlight the role of genomic classifications in guiding personalized treatment strategies, ultimately enhancing the understanding and management of myeloid neoplasms.

Identification of germline predisposition is essential to understanding the pathogenesis of disease, impact on families, and opportunities for preventive care. Continued research is essential to further characterize the penetrance of these conditions, and how best to monitor, treat and optimize management for these families.

To the best of our knowledge our research represents the first and largest published dataset on PMF in MENA region to be published. Merged DIPSS plus scoring came to be a pragmatic tool for defining high-risk patients who significantly differ in mortality, progression, need for treatment and leukemic transformation.

We believe these observations warrant a comprehensive search for activated tyrosine kinases in myeloproliferative disorders and hematological malignancies, as there are likely additional unidentified genetic events with biological and therapeutic significance. Additional in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to determine the cause of the specificity of JAK2 V617F for myeloid and lymphoid diseases.

The prevalence of the JAK2 mutation among blood donors is similar to the general population's but slightly higher among repeat donors with elevated hematocrit. Further research is necessary to establish definitive upper hemoglobin limits for donor deferral.PROSPERO No.: CRD42023456878.

This case highlights the importance of considering myeloproliferative disorders in patients with atypical thrombotic and hemorrhagic events. It emphasizes the need for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment to optimize patient outcomes.

In conclusion, our study provides valuable insights into the prevalence and characteristics of JAK2, CALR, and MPL mutations in BCR-ABL1 negative MPNs in the Moroccan population, highlighting the importance of genetic characterization to optimize the clinical management of these diseases.

We showed the efficacy of daratumumab in combination with targeted therapies for the treatment of pulmonary MM.

In a multivariate analysis, grade 2-3 MF (HR 2.0, 95%CI 1.59-2.51) was the strongest prognostic factor for survival. In summary, grade 2-3 MF in AML is associated with worse outcomes.

Conclusions : DTA mutations detected with a clinically used NGS panel in patients with MPN are associated with increased risk of bleeding complications, as well as increased thrombotic risk in a subgroup of patients. These findings support the incorporation of molecular panel analyses in thrombosis and bleeding risk assessment in MPN, and merit further investigation.

MPNs with JAK2 mutations are associated with SCAD in addition to usual atherosclerosis. This association needs further research.

Taiwanese patients with PV showed differences in blood count, risk group, and bleeding events between exon 12 and JAK2V617F patients. Higher mutant allele burden had a negative impact on overall survival for both mutation types.

According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that timely and correct diagnosis of LPV is very important. Despite the fact that disease passes in a latent, masked form, THC are more likely to occur. This can be attributed to the high platelet count in the blood and the lack of timely treatment of the disease.

P2, N=91, Active, not recruiting, PharmaEssentia | Recruiting --> Active, not recruiting | N=64 --> 91 | Trial completion date: Dec 2026 --> Mar 2027 | Trial primary completion date: Jul 2024 --> Mar 2027

Antiplatelet therapy was started with acetylsalicylic acid 100 mg and clopidogrel 75 mg once a day. With the recommendation of hematology, cytoreductive treatment, hydroxyurea 1000 mg twice a day, was started. The patient's complaints were resolved at the end of the second day, and the patient with minimal ataxia was discharged with recommendations. Patients with ET should be aware of ischemic cerebrovascular disease and consider antiplatelet and cytoreductive treatment options.

PV patients with high risk can benefit from low-dose aspirin...Patients with polycythemia vera can present with a high or low serum EPO level. Further diagnostic tests are usually required to confirm the final diagnosis.

Recently, there has been increased efforts to optimize treatment with the development of highly selective JAK inhibitors, as well as use of combination agents to counter disease resistance through targeting aberrant signaling pathways. Treatment of MF patients with JAKi therapy can be challenging but the development of more potent and selective JAK inhibitors, as well as combination therapies, represent exciting treatment advances in this field.

While JAK2 testing is notably relevant for splanchnic vein thrombosis, its routine use for other thrombotic events, particularly with normal CBC results, remains uncertain. Given the study's limitations, further prospective research with larger cohorts is needed to refine guidelines for JAK2 mutation testing in various thrombotic contexts.

This case highlights the importance of recognizing dynamic changes in routine blood tests that may link CVST to underlying hematological disorders. The JAK2 mutation is not only associated with MPNs but also increases the risk of thrombosis, including CVST. Further investigation is warranted to better understand the mechanisms by which JAK2 mutations contribute to thrombosis and to explore the potential benefits of JAK2 inhibitors in reducing this risk.

Ruxolitinib reduces the expression of p-JAK2, PD-1, and PD-L1 in JAK2 V617F-positive cells by specifically inhibiting the JAK2 signaling pathway, thereby suppressing the progression of MPNs.

The patient was managed with intravenous heparin and did not receive thrombolytics or thrombectomy...The primary goal of this study was to highlight a rare presentation of renal artery thrombosis secondary to polycythemia vera (PV) and discuss the complexities involved in managing the underlying disease and its thrombotic complication, particularly in the presence of concomitant bleeding. Effective management of PV-related thrombosis requires a delicate balance between anticoagulation to prevent further thrombotic events while carefully addressing the risk of hemorrhage.

Importantly, the integration of HMR/JAK2V617F VAF (≤50%) status significantly enhanced existing prognostic models, as evidenced by higher c-indexes and time-dependent ROC analyses. Single-cell studies with sequential follow-ups are warranted to decipher the clonal evolution of MF and how it relates to JAK2V617F VAF dynamics.

The average JAK2 allele burden decreased in our patients with high-risk ET during the four-year period. However, in the small subgroup whose JAK2 mutation burden increased the Agatston coronary calcium score increased as well. This finding, which should be interpreted with caution and validated in a larger group, is in line with emerging evidence that JAK2 mutation accelerates atherosclerosis and can be regarded as a non-classical risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Post-treatment 18F-FDG PET (Daratumumab Bortezomib Thalidomide Dexamethasone) revealed a completely reduced signal of bone lesions, suggesting a complete response, which was substantiated both clinically and biologically, with the concurrent disappearance of telangiectasia and the monoclonal component, and the normalization of the EPO level. In future, additional data will be required to confirm the added value of 18F-FDG PET with TEMPI. Nevertheless, 18F-FDG PET can be a preferred tool for the extension workup and therapeutic evaluation of TEMPI syndrome.

In order to potentially increase clinical benefit for patients with MF, several novel agents are being partnered with ruxolitinib (RUX) with the ongoing hypothesis to augment greater measures of MF disease modification. The novel agents are either 'added-on' to RUX or as a combo in JAKi naïve patients. Also, the mutant-targeting era of therapies is now beginning with novel CALR-mutated, novel JAK2 V617F mutation-specific and type II JAK2i in the initial stages of drug development, representing a new approach to treatment.

This requires an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of action of the JAK2 V617F mutation. In this review, the authors explored the role of the JAK2 V617F mutation in MPN from multiple aspects, including the mechanisms of non-JAK/STAT pathways, the regulation of cellular methylation, the induction of cellular DNA damage accumulation, and effects on the cardiovascular system, with the objective of providing valuable insights into multidrug combination therapy for MPN.

The patient was diagnosed with PMF and treated with ruxolitinib and COPD therapy...The rare coexistence of JAK2, CALR, and MPL mutations challenges the assumption of their mutual exclusivity. Further study of these mutations is essential for developing better treatment strategies.

Treatment with phlebotomy, hydroxyurea, and aspirin resulted in significant improvements in ocular symptoms and hematological parameters within 60 days. CONCLUSIONS This case underscores the critical role of primary care in the early detection of polycythemia vera. Timely identification and appropriate referral from primary care settings are essential to avoid diagnostic delays and ensure effective management, improving patient outcomes and preventing complications.

shRNA knockdown of CREB3L1 expression in HSPCs blocked erythroblast formation in vitro. These results suggest that CREB3L1 is required for erythropoiesis in the presence of JAK2 exon 12 mutation or high level of EPO, possibly by antagonizing cellular stress.

These findings suggest that PMF patients with a JAK2 mutation have a higher PD-L1 expression in megakaryocytes compared with the control group. We postulate that the combination of checkpoint and JAK2 inhibitors may be an active treatment option in JAK2 mutated PMF given the higher PD-L1 expression.

A common treatment approach consists of anticoagulation for prevention and treatment of thrombosis, and cytoreductive therapy targeting MPN. However, as no definitive evidence exists for this approach, a bespoke therapeutic strategy tailored to individual patient profiles is required.

Asprin dosing strategy in low risk (young and JAK2 mutated without history of thrombosis) or very low risk (young JAK2 wild-type without history of thrombosis) essential thrombocythemia.

Our data on the driver gene mutational profile of BCR: ABL1 negative MPN is one of the largest patient cohorts. The prevalence and clinicopathological features corroborate with that of other Asian studies.

The significant increase in circulating MV, VWF, and FVIII:C in the MPN patients and in the patients with thrombosis supports the role of endothelium damage in promoting thrombotic events. In particular, a significant increase in VWF and FVIII:C levels was found in the MPN patients with SVT.

The use of drugs targeting the activation or blockade of this target in the analyzed cell lines did not result in changes in cell viability. However, RXRA might be relevant in the disease, pointing to the need for future research testing retinoids and other drugs targeting RXRα for the treatment of ET patients.

Our study integrates data from approximately 5,462 patients, contributing insights into the association between JAK2V617F allele burden and various hematological parameters, symptomatic manifestations, and complications. However, varied methods of data presentation and statistical analyses prevented the execution of high-quality meta-analyses.

The presence of the JAK2-V617F mutant kinase renders acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells less sensitive to CARM1 inhibition, and we show that the dual targeting of JAK2 and CARM1 is more effective than monotherapy in AML cells expressing phospho-CARM1. Thus, the phosphorylation of CARM1 by hyperactivated JAK2 regulates its methyltransferase activity, helps select its substrates, and is required for the maximal proliferation of malignant myeloid cells.

The newest entity inducing erythrocytosis is linked to the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors that hypothetically activate hypoxia-inducible factor 2-alpha (HIF-2α), and in some cases unmask PV. This review focusses on the pathogenesis, renal manifestations and management of PV, the pathophysiology of erythrocytosis induced by SGLT2 inhibitors and the relevance of timely JAK2 mutation screening in these patients.

This review summarizes the assessment of bleeding and thrombosis risk for patients with MPNs scheduled for surgery. Furthermore, this review discusses various tools that can be used to identify MPN patients at risk of thrombosis prior to surgery.

This study, as one of the largest of MPN-U studies incorporating both clinicopathologic and molecular data, moves toward identification of biomarkers that better predict prognosis in this heterogeneous category.
