Objective: Polycythemia vera (PV) is a clonal myeloproliferative neoplasia associated with the activation of the Janus-activating kinase 2 (JAK2) mutation. The aim of this study is to identify clonal expansion of exon 12 mutations.
Methods: We performed DNA sequencing of the JAK2 exon 12 after TA-cloning in JAK2-V617F-negative and JAK2-V617F-positive PV patients.
Results And Conclusions: We found clonal mutations (i.e. H538-K539delinsL and D544G) in 3 of 7 JAK2-V617F-negative PV patients, however, unlike JAK2-V617F, allele burden of JAK2 exon 12 mutation was low. Since allele-specific PCR is able to amplify only the limited region which contains known mutations with gain-of-function, we need to clarify the biological implications of unknown single nucleotide substitution of the JAK2 exon 12 with low clonal burden in erythrocytosis patients.

Iron Overload in Histidine-to-Aspartic Acid Substitution at 63 (H63D) Gene Heterozygous Hereditary Hemochromatosis With Erythrocytosis: A Case Report.

Hereditary hemochromatosis occurs due to genetic mutations, namely, cysteine-to-tyrosine substitution at amino acid 282 (C282Y) and histidine-to-aspartic acid substitution at 63 (H63D) mutations. The role of H63D mutation in hemochromatosis is less clear, and its penetrance is low even in homozygotes. Therefore, iron overload in H63D heterozygotes is extremely rare and scarcely reported.

Introduction: Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are associated with clonal hematopoiesis, genomic instability, hemostasis dysregulation, and immune response. Classic BCR-ABL1 negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (BCR-ABL1 negative MPN), including polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), are frequently associated with somatic abnormalities in JAK2, CALR, and MPL. Mutant clones induce an inflammatory immune response leading to immuno-thrombosis.

The PAX5 (paired box 5) gene encodes a transcription factor that plays a critical role in B-cell development. PAX5 rearrangement is a recurrent abnormality seen in about 1.0-2.

Background And Aim: JAK2 exon 12 mutation status and the clinical characteristics of patients with polycythemia vera (PV) in Asia remain to be defined.
Method: We analyzed the clinical, molecular, and genetic features and outcomes of patients with PV harboring exon 12 mutation and compared them with the JAK2V617F-mutated patients in Taiwan. JAK2V617F with allele burden was measured by pyrosequencing and/or RT/qPCR.
