Prevalence and phenotypes of JAK2 V617F and calreticulin mutations in a Danish general population. Blood 2019; 134:469-479.

Abstract
AbstractThe JAK2 V617F and calreticulin mutations (CALR) are frequent within myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). JAK2 V617F has been detected in the general population, but no studies have previously investigated the CALR prevalence. Thus, we aimed to determine the CALR and JAK2 V617F population prevalence and assess the biochemical profile and lifestyle factors in mutation-positive individuals with and without MPN. 19 958 eligible participants, enrolled from 2010-2013, from the Danish General Suburban Population Study were screened for JAK2 V617F and CALR by droplet digital polymerase chain reaction with (3.2%) mutation positives of which 16 (2.5%) had MPN at baseline. Of 645 participants, 613 were JAK2 V617F positive, and 32 were CALR positive, corresponding to a population prevalence of 3.1% (confidence interval [CI], 2.8-3.3) and 0.16% (CI, 0.11-0.23), respectively. Increasing age, smoking, and alcohol were risk factors for the mutations. JAK2 V617F positives with and without MPN presented elevated odds for prevalent venous thromboembolism. The odds ratio for a diagnosis of MPN per percentage allele burden was 1.14 (95% CI, 1.09-1.18; P = 1.6 × 10−10). Mutation positives displayed higher blood cell counts than nonmutated participants, and 42% of mutation positives without MPN presented elevation of ≥1 blood cell counts; 80 (13%) even presented blood cell counts in accordance with current MPN diagnostic criteria. In conclusion, we present a novel population prevalence of CALR and a JAK2 V617F prevalence that is 3 to 30 times higher compared with less sensitive methods. Mutation-positive non-MPNs with elevated blood cell counts raise concerns of MPN underdiagnosis in the population.

Diagnostic challenge of the newborn patients with heritable protein C deficiency. J Perinatol 2019; 39:212-219.

Abstract
ABSTARCT OBJECTIVE: The diagnosis of neonatal-onset protein C (PC) deficiency is challenging. This study aimed to establish the neonatal screening of heritable PC deficiency in Japan. STUDY DESIGN We determined the changes in plasma activity levels of PC and protein S (PS) in healthy neonates, and studied newborn patients with PROC mutation in the Japanese registry. RESULT Physiological PC and PS levels increased with wide range. The PC/PS-activity ratios converged after birth. The PC/PS-activity ratios of 19 patients with biallelic mutations, but not, 9 with monoallelic mutation, were lower than those of 13 without mutation. The logistic regression analyses established a formula including two significant variables of PC activity (cut-off < 10%, odds ratio = 30.0) and PC/PS-activity ratio (cut-off < 0.35, odds ratio = 22.7), with 93% sensitivity and 44% specificity for determining patients with mutation(s). CONCLUSION The PC/PS-activity ratio is an effective parameter for the genetic screening of neonatal-onset PC-deficiency in Japanese population.
