Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm primarily due to the presence of the BCR-ABL fusion gene that produces the constitutively active protein, BCR-ABL.
Unique Case of Myeloproliferative Neoplasm with Two Rare Clonal Abnormalities: Rare JAK2 Exon 12 Mutation and Rare e14a3 (b3a3) BCR/ABL Fusion Transcript.
In BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms, myelofibrosis (MF) is either primary (PMF) or secondary (SMF) to polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia.
BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative disorders and chronic myeloid leukaemia are haematologic malignancies characterised by single and mutually exclusive genetic alterations.
Chronic myeloid leukemia is a myeloproliferative disease where cells of myeloid linage display a t(9;22) chromosomal translocation leading to the formation of the BCR/ABL fusion gene and the continuous activation of tyrosine kinases.
Inflammatory and oncogenic signaling converge in disease evolution of BCR-ABL-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms, clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by gain-of-function mutation in JAK2 kinase (JAK2V617F), with highest prevalence in patients with polycythemia vera (PV).
The discovery of somatic mutations within the gene encoding calreticulin (CALR) in 2013 represented a major milestone in the molecular diagnosis of BCR-ABL negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN).
This study aimed to elucidate patterns of disease transformation to secondary myelofibrosis (SMF) or secondary acute myeloid leukemia (SAML) and the development of second primary malignancies in South Korean patients with BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder due to the existence of BCR-ABL fusion protein that allows the cells to keep proliferating uncontrollably.
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disease caused by the constitutive tyrosine kinase (TK) activity of the BCR-ABL1 fusion protein.
<b>Introduction</b>: The abnormally activated JAK-STAT pathway plays a central role in the pathogenesis of BCR/ABL-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), simultaneously providing a theoretical and clinical basis for the development of small-molecule compounds targeting JAK.
ABSTRACT: Background The BCR-ABL-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms, i.e., polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia (ET), and myelofibrosis (MF), are characterized by mutations in JAK2, CALR, or MPL.
BCR-ABL-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are driven by JAK-STAT pathway activation, but epigenetic alterations also play an important pathophysiological role.
Starting from this observation, we extended our study to a panel of human leukemic cells carrying genetic lesions distinctive of different types of leukemias and myeloproliferative disorders (the BCR-ABL1 translocation and the JAK2V617F amino acid substitution) to dissect the cellular events induced by SOX6.
Thromboembolic events are the main cause of mortality in BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) but their underlying mechanisms are largely unrecognized.
Our data, reflecting the largest reported study comprehensively detailing clinicopathologic features and response to therapy, show that the co-occurrence of BCR-ABL1 and JAK2 V617F is rare, with an estimated frequency of 0.4%, and most often reflects two distinct ('composite') myeloproliferative neoplasms.
