Autoimmunity and the risk of myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Effects of Mutational Combinations on Philadelphia-Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Hyper 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 ...

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...

ارزیابی جهش JAK2V617F در نئوپلاسم های  میلوپرولیفراتیو کلاسیک غیر CML به روش ARMS-PCR

Background and Aim : Myeloproliferative neoplasms are clonal and heterogeneous disorders of hematopoietic stem cells lead to increase of one or more cell lines in the blood. Recently, the acquired mutation JAK2 V617F has been described in the majority of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).This mutation is characterized by a G to T transverse at nucleotide 1849 in exon 12 of the J...

A Pilot Study of FDG-PET/CT in Polycythemia Vera Using Global Analysis Techniques

Objective(s): Functional imaging presents a non-invasive process that may capture the hyper-metabolic nature of red bone marrow in myeloproliferative neoplasms, such as polycythemia vera (PV). Methods: This study analyzed the FDG-PET/CT scans (n=12) of six patients diagnosed with PV and six age-sex matched controls using a quantitative global analysis methodol...
