Molecular diagnostics of myeloproliferative neoplasms.

چکیده
Since the discovery of the JAK2 V617F mutation in the majority of the myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) of polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia and primary myelofibrosis ten years ago, further MPN-specific mutational events, notably in JAK2 exon 12, MPL exon 10 and CALR exon 9 have been identified. These discoveries have been rapidly incorporated into evolving molecular diagnostic algorithms. Whilst many of these mutations appear to have prognostic implications, establishing MPN diagnosis is of immediate clinical importance with selection, implementation and the continual evaluation of the appropriate laboratory methodology to achieve this diagnosis similarly vital. The advantages and limitations of these approaches in identifying and quantitating the common MPN-associated mutations are considered herein with particular regard to their clinical utility. The evolution of molecular diagnostic applications and platforms has occurred in parallel with the discovery of MPN-associated mutations, and it therefore appears likely that emerging technologies such as next-generation sequencing and digital PCR will in the future play an increasing role in the molecular diagnosis of MPN.

Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Associated with Mutation in JAK2V617F and Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors as Therapeutic Strategy
MPNs including a heterogeneous group of clonal or oligoclonal hamtopathies characterized by proliferation and accumulation of mature myeloid cells. JAK2 tyrosine kinase mutation is the most common molecular lesion identified in 90% of cases. JAK2 is involved in EPO signaling pathway, and mutations in it lead to EPO-independent spontaneous phosphorylation. Most tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) a...
متن کاملHyper eosinophilia associated with myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms
Eosinophilia in the absence of allergies, asthma, drug reactions, parasitic infections and connective tissue diseases can be eosinophilic clonal disorders, lymphoma or myeloproliferative disorders. Hypereosinophilia with the persistence of eosinophils ≥1500 /mm³ in blood or more than 20% of eosinophils in the bone marrow may be observed in many reactive or clonal disorders, the result of which ...
متن کاملStat5 as a diagnostic marker for leukemia.
The Jak-Stat-Socs pathway is an important component of cytokine receptor signaling. Not surprisingly, perturbation of this pathway is implicated in diseases of hematopoietic and immune origin, including leukemia, lymphoma and immune deficiencies. This review examines the role of a key component of this pathway, Stat5. This has been shown to be activated in a variety of leukemias and myeloprolif...
