Essential thrombocytemia following immune thrombocytopenia with JAK2V617F mutation
نویسندگان
چکیده
JAK2V617F mutation is found in about 60% of cases of essential thrombocytemia (ET) and represents a driving mutation. Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a low platelet (PLT) count. So far, only 2 reports described ET following ITP. For the first time we analyzed in a patient the JAK2V617F allele burden at ITP onset occurred 13 years before the ET diagnosis and found the presence of a small clone JAK2V617F positive clone (3%) raised to 27% in the following years. The association of ET and ITP could suggest similar pathogenetic mechanisms that should be further investigated.

Background and Aim: The JAK2 is an acquired mutation that is observed in majority of patients with classical Philadelphia-negative Myeloproliferative neoplasms that include polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), primary myelofibrosis (PMF). This acquired mutation is characterized by a G to T transversion at nucleotide 1849 in exon 12 of the JAK2 gene, leading to a substitution ...

Abstract Objective JAK2 is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a major role in myeloid disorders. JAK2V617F mutation is characterized by a G to T transverse at nucleotide 1849 in exon 12 of the JAK2 gene, located on the chromosome 9p, leading to a substitution of valine to phenylalanine at amino acid position 617 in the JAK2 protein. Methods In this study we evaluated RNA from 89 pati...

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...

We present the case where immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) sequentially appeared in the space of twenty-one years of follow-up. Impaired platelet production is present in both diseases, but clinical presentation and treatment are different. On the basis of this case history a possible role of autoimmunity as a predisposing factor to myeloproliferation has been di...

The detection of the JAK2V617F mutation has become an essential tool in BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) diagnosis, as it is present in 95% of polycythemia vera (PV) patients and 60% of essential thrombocytemia (ET) or myelofibrosis patients. JAK2V617F-positive MPNs are different from other hematological malignant disease in that, although the JAK2V617F mutation is consider...
