Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders commonly characterized by excessive production of blood cell lineages. The JAK2 V617F mutation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of these conditions, often leading to thrombotic complications. Here, we present the case of a 21-year-old man who presented with acute abdominal pain and was found to have portal vein thrombosis with splenomegaly.

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.

To investigate the effect of ten-eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase 2 (TET2) gene mutations on the secondary myelofibrosis (SMF) of JAK2 myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) patients. A retrospective collection was conducted on MPN patients with JAK2 mutation detected by second-generation sequencing in the Department of Hematology, the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University. TET2JAK2 MPN patients were selected as the mutant group, and TET2JAK2 MPN patients matched for age and gender were selected as the non-mutant group.

Elevated circulating levels of calprotectin (CAL), the S100A8/A9 heterodimer, are biomarkers of severe systemic inflammation. Here, we investigate the effects of CAL on early human hematopoiesis. CAL demonstrates limited impact on gene expression in stem and progenitor cells, in contrast with interleukin-6 (IL6), which promotes the expression of the and genes in hematopoietic progenitors and the generation of monocytes that release CAL.
