Thromboembolic events are the main cause of mortality in BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) but their underlying mechanisms are largely unrecognized.
Although BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are chronic, clonal hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) disorders marked by proliferation of one or more myeloid lineages, a substantial proportion of patients transform to acute myeloid leukemia.
BCR/ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are characterized by recurrent mutations in JAK2, CALR, and MPL, each of which has been reported to alter JAK/STAT signaling pathways.
Fusion of the BCR and the fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR1) genes as a result of t(8;22)(p11;q11) in a myeloproliferative disorder: the first fusion gene involving BCR but not ABL.
BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are clonal stem cell disorders defined by proliferation of one or more myeloid lineages, and carry an increased risk of vascular events and progression to myelofibrosis and leukemia.
The clonal blood disorders polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia and primary myelofibrosis belong to the BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms and are specified by increased production of terminally differentiated myeloid cells.
Polycythaemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and idiopathic myelofibrosis (MF), are the most common myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) in patients without the BCR-ABL1 gene rearrangement.
In BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) several different tyrosine kinase fusion events have been described, most commonly involving the genes encoding the platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) or beta (PDGFRB).
The hallmark of <i>BCR-ABL1</i>-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) is the presence of a driver mutation in <i>JAK2, CALR</i>, or <i>MPL</i> gene.
An unusual cytogenetic translocation, t(8;13) (p11;q12), is described in a patient presenting with a CML-like myeloproliferative disorder associated with a high-grade T-cell lymphoma.
The BCR-ABL1 oncogenic tyrosine kinase can transform pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells and initiate chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP), a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by excessive accumulation of mature myeloid cells.
To evaluate the mutation frequency of JAK2 V617F, JAK2 exon 12, MPL exon 10, and CALR exon 9 and the value of the combined tests in the diagnosis of BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).
This event results in the expression of the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene, which codes for a constitutively active tyrosine kinase that is responsible for the transformation of a HSC into a CML stem cell, which then gives rise to a clonal myeloproliferative disease.
Fusion of the BCR and the fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR1) genes as a result of t(8;22)(p11;q11) in a myeloproliferative disorder: the first fusion gene involving BCR but not ABL.
JAK-STAT is an appealing but also problematic drug target in BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) - it is appealing because the majority of patients with MPN harbor gain-of-function JAK2 or MPL mutations - it is problematic because currently available JAK inhibitors do not distinguish between oncogenic and physiologic JAK-STAT activation.
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.
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm underlain by the formation of BCR-ABL1 - an aberrant tyrosine kinase - in the leukaemic blasts.
