Like in other non-pulmonary Langerhans cell proliferations, PLCH has recently been shown to harbour BRAF V600E mutations in a significant subset of cases, thus challenging the concept of PLCH being a reactive disorder.

More specifically, rs6265 was related to both personal mental health history (P = 0.09, 0.06 adjusted) and diagnosis of depression/adjustment disorder at time of pre-transplant evaluation (P = 0.11, 0.09 adjusted).
In this context, the distinctive role of a positive JAK2(V617F) mutation for the diagnosis of Ph- MPD was underscored, including entities with a low allele burden and the discrimination from reactive disorders (autoimmune myelofibrosis, reactive thrombocytosis).
