Background: The inherited JAK2 46/1 haplotype is strongly associated with the development of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), and its increased frequency has also been reported in splanchnic venous thrombosis (SVT). In the present study, the role of the JAK2 46/1 haplotype in non-splanchnic venous thrombosis (non-SVT) was investigated.
Methods And Results: We genotyped 438 patients with non-SVT, 226 patients with MPNs and 459 healthy controls for three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which tag the JAK2 46/1 haplotype (rs12342421 G>C, rs12343867 T>C and rs10974944 C>G). We found statistically significant association of the rs12342421 GC+CC genotypes (OR=1.40; p=0.023) and the rs12343867 TC+CC genotypes (OR=1.83; p=7.02 x 10(-5)) with non-SVT. We also found that the CC haplotype of these two SNPs was associated with an increased risk of the disease (OR=1.68; p=0.009). Stratification analysis indicated that the observed association of the JAK2 46/1 haplotype with non-SVT was probably largely free of confounding effect of thrombophilic risk factors. In addition, we established a strong association of SNPs rs12342421 and rs10974944 and their CG haplotype with MPNs and with JAK2 V617F-positive MPNs.
Conclusions: This study provides statistical evidence that SNPs rs12342421 and rs12343867 are associated with an increased risk of non-SVT. Consistently, haplotypes of the SNPs were also associated with non-SVT risk, suggesting that inherited genetic variation in the JAK2 gene may play a role in the pathogenesis of non-SVT. Furthermore, the reported associations of the JAK2 46/1 haplotype with MPNs as well as with the occurrence of the JAK2 V617F mutation in MPNs were confirmed.

Article Synopsis
- Gene-gene interactions (GxG) are crucial for understanding the genetic basis of traits and diseases, helping to explain the "missing heritability" in both polygenic and monogenic traits in humans.* -
- Researchers employed two variance QTL (vQTL) methods to uncover GxG interactions linked to human blood traits and disease risk, using data from large cohorts like the UK Biobank, NIH All of Us, and Vanderbilt BioVU.* -
- The study revealed significant GxG interactions, including known and novel ones affecting eosinophil and lymphocyte counts, as well as the risk of celiac disease and hematological conditions, showcasing the effectiveness of vQTL approaches in human health research.*

Epidemiological evidence of familial predispositions to myeloid malignancies and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) has long been recognised, but recent studies have added to knowledge of specific germline variants in multiple genes that contribute to the familial risk. These variants may be common risk alleles in the general population but have low penetrance and cause sporadic MPN, such as the JAK2 46/1 haplotype, the variant most strongly associated with MPN. Association studies are increasingly identifying other MPN susceptibility genes such as TERT, MECOM, and SH2B3, while some common variants in DDX41 and RUNX1 appear to lead to a spectrum of myeloid malignancies.

BCR::ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms are hematopoietic disorders characterized by panmyelosis. JAK2 V617F is a frequent variant in these diseases and often occurs in the 46/1 haplotype. The G allele of rs10974944 has been shown to be associated with this variant, specifically its acquisition, correlations with familial cases, and laboratory alterations.

Introduction: About 15% of people with a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) are identified as MPN, unclassifiable using the 2016 WHO classification.
Methods: We tested whether persons with platelet concentration ≥450 × 10E+9/L, bone marrow megakaryocyte morphology typical of prefibrotic/early myelofibrosis (pre-MF), and no minor criteria of pre-MF should be classified as a distinct MPN subtype, clonal megakaryocyte dysplasia with isolated thrombocytosis (CMD-IT).
Results: 139 subjects meet these criteria who we compared with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) including 402 with pre-MF and 521 with overt myelofibrosis.
