Low Frequency of C-MPL Gene Mutations in Iranian Patients with Philadelphia-Negative Myeloproliferative Disorders

Background Myeloproliferative disorders are a group of diseases characterized by increased proliferation of myeloid lineage. In addition to JAK2V617F mutation, several mutations in the c-MPL gene were described in patients with Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative disorders that could be important in the pathogenesis of diseases. The aim of present study was to investigate the fre...

BACKGROUND Myeloproliferative disorders are a group of diseases characterized by increased proliferation of myeloid lineage. In addition to JAK2V617F mutation, several mutations in the c-MPL gene have been reported in patients with philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative disorders that could be important in the pathogenesis of diseases.

Prevalence of MPL W515L/K mutations in Taiwanese patients with Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms.

BACKGROUND The discovery of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)-V617F has provided important insight into the pathogenesis of Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph-negative MPNs); however, the etiology of JAK2(V617F)-negative Ph-negative MPN remains unidentified. MPL(W515L) and MPL(W515K) (MPL(W515L/K)) are 2 gain-of-function mutations, which have been found in some Ph-negative MPN p...

Molecular pathophysiology of Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative disorders: beyond JAK2 and MPL mutations.

Prevalence of MPL (W515K/L) Mutations in Patients with Negative-JAK2 (V617F) Myeloproliferative Neoplasm in North-East of Iran

Background and Objective: Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and Myeloproliferative Leukemia (MPL) mutations are confirmatory indicators for Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN). The current study was performed to determine the frequency of MPL mutation in MPN patients without JAK2 mutation, in order to assign MPL mutation frequency in North-East of Iran.Methods: Total o...

Characterization and Prognosis Significance of JAK2 (V617F), MPL, and CALR Mutations in Philadelphia-Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Background: The discovery of somatic acquired mutations of JAK2 (V617F) in Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph-negative MPNs) including polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) has not only improved rational disease classification and prognostication but also brings new understanding insight into the pathogenesis of diseases.
