No major predisposition gene for familial myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) has been identified. Here we demonstrate that the autosomal dominant transmission of a 700-kb duplication in four genetically related families predisposes to myeloid malignancies, including MPN, frequently progressing to leukemia. Using induced pluripotent stem cells and primary cells, we demonstrate that overexpression of ATG2B and GSKIP enhances hematopoietic progenitor differentiation, including of megakaryocytes, by increasing progenitor sensitivity to thrombopoietin (TPO). ATG2B and GSKIP cooperate with acquired JAK2, MPL and CALR mutations during MPN development. Thus, the germline duplication may change the fitness of cells harboring signaling pathway mutations and increases the probability of disease development.

A germ line copy number duplication of chromosome 14q32, which contains and , was identified in families with myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). Here, we show that mice lacking both and , but not either alone, exhibited decreased hematopoiesis, resulting in death accompanied by anemia. In marked contrast to MPN patients with duplication of and , the number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), in particular long-term HSCs, in double-knockout fetal livers was significantly decreased due to increased cell death.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the genetic factors associated with the 14q32 duplication that affects the ATG2B/GSKIP genes, linked to various myeloid neoplasms in families.
- Among 12 asymptomatic carriers and 52 affected patients, 75% of healthy carriers showed early signs of clonal hematopoiesis primarily due to TET2 mutations.
- Two clonal expansion routes were identified: one leading to myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) driven by TET2 and RAS mutations, and the other to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) without prior MPN, with no DNMT3A mutations found in the cohort.
