Abstract
Classical BCR-ABL-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) include polycythaemia vera, essential thrombocythaemia, and primary myelofibrosis. Unlike monogenic disorders, a more complicated series of genetic mutations are believed to be responsible for MPN with various degrees of thromboembolic and bleeding complications. Thrombosis is one of the early manifestations in patients with MPN. To date, the driver genes responsible for MPN include JAK2, CALR, MPL, TET2, ASXL1, and MTHFR. Affords have been done to elucidate these mutations and the incidence of thromboembolic events. Several lines of evidence indicate that mutations in JAK2, MPL, TET2 and ASXL1 gene and polymorphisms in several clotting factors (GPIa, GPIIa, and GPIIIa) are associated with the occurrence and prevalence of thrombosis in MPN patients. Some polymorphisms within XRCC1, FBG, F2, F5, F7, F12, MMP9, HPA5, MTHFR, SDF-1, FAS, FASL, TERT, ACE, and TLR4 genes may also play a role in MPN manifestation. This review aims to provide an insightful overview on the genetic perspective of thrombotic complications in patients with MPN.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the prevalence of the JAK2 V617F mutation in Tunisian patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and to look for possible associations with diseases’ presentation. In this context, JAK2 V617F polymorphism was detected by PCR-RFLP and direct sequencing in 213 MPN patients (109 with polycythemia vera (PV), 93 with essential thrombocythemia (ET) and 11 with primary myelofibrosis (PMF)), 77 unclassified patients with thrombosis (UPT) and 95 healthy control subjects. The JAK2 V617F mutant allele was present by either PCR-RFLP or direct sequencing in 158 (74.17%) MPN patients while all UPT and controls were negative. Besides, the JAK2 V617F mutation was significantly more frequent in patients with PV 98 (89.9%) than in ET 54 (58.1%) and PMF 6 (54.5%) groups, p < 0.001. Analytic results in MPN patients showed significant associations between the JAK2 SNP and both hemoglobin levels (16.29 ± 3 vs 13.01 ± 3.65) and hematocrit (52.99 ± 8.34 vs 45.37 ± 10.94), p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively. In addition, in the ET subgroup thrombosis was significantly more frequent in patients carrying the V617F mutation (16, (29.6%) vs 3, (7.7%)), p = 0.01. In ET patients, the V617F mutation seems to be predictive of thrombosis occurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The goal of treatment in essential thrombocytosis (ET) is to prevent vascular complications such as thrombosis and hemorrhage. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of cerebrovascular microembolism in ET patients due to detection of microembolic signals (MES) and measure cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) by Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this prospective case-control study, forty patients with diagnosed ET and age and sex-matched forty healthy controls were examined by the TCD sonography. RESULTS The ET group had a higher rate of MES (8/40) in the right MCA than that in the control group (none), as measured by TCD. Five patients had MES at the left MCA compared to that in no subjects in the control group. The comparison of the ET and control groups in terms of CBFV parameters showed significantly lower end-diastolic FV at the right MCA in the ET group compared to that in the control group (p < 0.05). On the other hand; both pulsatility and resistance indices in the right and left MCA and the ratios of systolic to diastolic blood flow rates in the right and left MCA were significantly higher in the ET group than that in the control group. DISCUSSION This study revealed that MES seems to be more common in patients with ET despite treatment. We could suggest that ET patients should be monitored more closely to address the potential risk of developing a cerebrovascular disease, which can be estimated by detection MES and raised CBFV, combine antiplatelet therapies to standard treatments.

Abstract
Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) is an important cause of vascular accidents in children. The diagnosis of the underlying disease allows appropriate and timely management of the risk factors and guide therapy, but the etiology remains unknown in 20% to 25% of the cases. We present the first case of a child presenting with CSVT caused by the Janus Kinase 2 (JAK2) V617F mutation, occurring without the hematological abnormalities diagnostic for myeloproliferative neoplasms. We therefore suggest including the molecular study of the JAK2 gene in the coagulation panel of all children affected by CSVT of unknown cause.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Residual cardiovascular disease risk and increasing metabolic syndrome risk underscores a need for novel therapeutics targeting lipid metabolism in humans. Unbiased human genetic screens have proven powerful in identifying novel genomic loci, and this review discusses recent developments in such discovery. RECENT FINDINGS Recent human genome-wide association studies have been completed in incredibly large, detailed cohorts, allowing for the identification of more than 300 genomic loci that participate in the regulation of plasma lipid metabolism. However, the discovery of these loci has greatly outpaced the elucidation of the underlying functional mechanisms. The identification of novel roles for long noncoding RNAs, such as CHROME, LeXis, and MeXis, in lipid metabolism suggests that noncoding RNAs should be included in the functional translation of GWAS loci. SUMMARY Unbiased genetic studies appear to have unearthed a great deal of novel biology with respect to lipid metabolism, yet translation of these findings into actionable mechanisms has been slow. Increased focus on the translation, rather than the discovery, of these loci, with new attention paid to lncRNAs, can help spur the development of novel therapeutics targeting lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) driver mutations are usually found in JAK2, MPL, and CALR genes; however, 10%-15% of cases are triple negative (TN). A previous study showed lower rate of JAK2 V617F in primary myelofibrosis patients exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation (IR) from Chernobyl accident. To examine distinct driver mutations, we enrolled 281 Ukrainian IR-exposed and unexposed MPN patients. Genomic DNA was obtained from peripheral blood leukocytes. JAK2 V617F, MPL W515, types 1- and 2-like CALR mutations were identified by Sanger Sequencing and real time polymerase chain reaction. Chromosomal alterations were assessed by oligo-SNP microarray platform. Additional genetic variants were identified by whole exome and targeted sequencing. Statistical significance was evaluated by Fisher's exact test and Wilcoxon's rank sum test (R, version 3.4.2). IR-exposed MPN patients exhibited a different genetic profile vs unexposed: lower rate of JAK2 V617F (58.4% vs 75.4%, P = .0077), higher rate of type 1-like CALR mutation (12.2% vs 3.1%, P = .0056), higher rate of TN cases (27.8% vs 16.2%, P = .0366), higher rate of potentially pathogenic sequence variants (mean numbers: 4.8 vs 3.1, P = .0242). Furthermore, we identified several potential drivers specific to IR-exposed TN MPN patients: ATM p.S1691R with copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity at 11q; EZH2 p.D659G at 7q and SUZ12 p.V71 M at 17q with copy number loss. Thus, IR-exposed MPN patients represent a group with distinct genomic characteristics worthy of further study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the intensity of burdensome symptoms using self-assessment MPN-SAF TSS in patientswith radiation-associated and spontaneous myeloproiliferative neoplasms (MPNs). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 89 patients with radiation-associated and spontaneous MPNs, the bur-densome symptoms of MPN were determined using MPN-SAF TSS. RESULTS The average score for complaints in patients with radiation-associated MPNs was significantly higher thanin patients with spontaneous MPNs - 43.46 and 25.04 points, respectively (p = 0.003). MPN patients classified bysubtypes also showed differences regarding intensity of burdensome MPN symptoms, demonstrating significantlyhigher average score of complaints among primary myelofibrosis patients (35.60), compared to polycythemia vera(29.60) and essential thrombocythemia (18.05) patients, (p = 0.005). Our study did not reveal any influence of theJAK2 V617F mutation on MPN burdensome symptoms intensity in MPN patients. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated a higher intensity of the MPN burdensome symptoms determined by the optimizedself-assessment MPN-SAF TSS in patients with radiation-associated, and in primary myelofibrosis patients, indicat-ing increased severity of patient's general conditions at the stage of diagnosis verification. It is advisable to usethe optimized MPN-SAF TSS at the moment of molecular genetic testing during the diagnosis of MPN for selectionor modifying treatment strategies in order to achieve better quality of life for patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW The Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are characterized by both thrombotic and bleeding complications. The purpose of this review is to describe the risk factors associated with bleeding and thrombosis in MPN, as well as to review prevention strategies and management of these complications. RECENT FINDINGS Well-described risk factors for thrombotic complications include older age and history of prior thrombosis, along with traditional cardiovascular and venous thromboembolic risk factors. More recently, JAK2 V617F mutation has been found to carry an increased risk of thrombotic complications, whereas CALR has a lower risk than JAK2 mutation. Factors associated with an increased risk of bleeding in MPN include a prior history of bleeding, acquired von Willebrand syndrome, and primary myelofibrosis. Recent findings suggest that thrombocytosis carries a higher risk of bleeding than thrombosis in MPN, and aspirin may exacerbate this risk of bleeding, particularly in CALR-mutated ET. Much of the management of MPN focuses on predicting risk of bleeding and thrombosis and initiating prophylaxis to prevent complications in those at high risk of thrombosis. Emerging evidence suggests that sub-populations may have bleeding risk that outweighs thrombotic risk, particularly in setting of antiplatelet therapy. Future work is needed to better characterize this balance. At present, a thorough assessment of the risks of bleeding and thrombosis should be undertaken for each patient, and herein, we review risk factors for and management of these complications.

Abstract
We describe a 59-year-old female who presented with ischaemic digits, preceded by a 6-month history of Raynaud's phenomenon affecting her fingers and toes. There were no clinical or laboratory features of primary vasculitis or connective tissue disease, Doppler imaging was normal, and bloods were unremarkable aside from a platelet count of 786 × 109/L (150–400) and white cells of 16 × 109/L (4–11). In view of the thrombocytosis a JAK2 mutation assay was requested which confirmed a JAK2 V617F mutation, suggesting essential thrombocytosis (ET) as the cause. She received treatment with hydroxycarbamide which normalised her platelet count and led to a complete resolution of her Raynaud's symptoms. Raynaud's phenomenon is a rare manifestation of ET. Myeloproliferative disorders such as ET should be considered in the differential diagnosis of Raynaud's phenomenon and vasculitis.

Abstract
Summary Introduction: In patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET), the vascular complications contribute to morbidity and mortality. To better predict the occurrence of thrombotic events, an International Prognostic Score for Thrombosis in Essential Thrombocythemia (IPSET-thrombosis) has recently been proposed. We present the application of this score and compare its results with the usual classification system. Method: We retrospectively evaluated the characteristics and risk factors for thrombosis of 46 patients with a diagnosis of ET seen in the last 6 years at Faculdade de Medicina do ABC (FMABC). Results: Thrombosis in the arterial territory was more prevalent than in venous sites. We observed that cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, and smoking) were also risk factors for thrombosis (p<0.001). Age over 60 years and presence of JAK2 V617F mutation were not associated with the occurrence of thrombotic events. No patient classified by IPSET-thrombosis as low risk had a thrombotic event. Furthermore, using the IPSET-thrombosis scale, we identified two patients who had thrombotic events during follow-up and were otherwise classified in the low-risk group of the traditional classification. Leukocytosis at diagnosis was significantly associated with arterial thrombosis (p=0.02), while splenomegaly was associated with venous thrombotic events (p=0.01). Conclusion: Cardiovascular risk factors and leukocytosis were directly associated with arterial thrombosis. IPSET-thrombosis appears to be better than the traditional classification at identifying lower risk patients who do not need specific therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic myeloproliferative diseases are clonal stem cell diseases which occur as a result of uncontrollable growth and reproduction of hematopoietic stem cells, which are the myeloid series source in bone marrow. Recent studies have suggested that chronic inflammation can be a triggering factor in the clonal change in chronic myeloproliferative neoplasia (CMPN). In our study, we evaluated the existence of a chronic inflammation process in our Philadelphia negative (Ph-)CMPN patients using inflammation parameters in combination with demographic, laboratory and clinical characteristics of the patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Demographic characteristics, clinical and laboratorial data, and thrombosis histories of 99 Ph-CMPN patients, who were diagnosed at our outpatient clinic of hematology in accordance with WHO 2008 criteria, were analyzed retrospectively,with 80 healthy individuals of matching gender and age included as controls. Complete blood counts, sedimentation, C reactive protein (CRP), JAK V617F gene mutations, abdomen ultrasound images and previous thrombosis histories of these patients were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Ph-CMPN and healthy control groups included 99 and 80 cases, respectively. PV, ET and MF diagnoses of patients were 43 (%43.4), 44 (44.4%) and 12 (12.1%), respectively. JAK V617F gene mutation was found to be positive in 64 (71.1%) of all cases and in 27(65.8%), 32 (82%), 5 (50%) of the cases in PV, ET and PMF groups, respectively. Thrombosis was determined as 12 (12%) in the entire group, 12.5% in the JAK V617F negative and 15.3% in the positive patients, with no statistical significance (p=0.758). No significant difference was observed between patients with and without previous thrombosis history in respect to hemogram parameters, sedimentation and CRP (p>0.05), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), erythrocyte distribution width (RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV) and sedimentation levels of the patient.

Int J Hematol 2015; 102:170-80. [PMID: 25997869 DOI: 10.1007/s12185-015-1808-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2015] [Revised: 05/13/2015] [Accepted: 05/13/2015] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
To assess the effect of JAK2V617F on different thrombotic risks in essential thrombocythemia (ET) patients, we identified eligible studies from several databases including Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (up to November 2014). Twenty-two studies of 2922 ET patients were included in exploring the relationship between JAK2V617F and the risk of thrombosis. Compared to JAK2V617F-negative ET patients, JAK2V617F-positive ET patients had higher odd risks (ORs) of arterial thrombosis [OR = 2.59 (1.84-3.65)] and venous thrombosis [OR = 2.10 (1.53-2.88)]. The JAK2V617F-positive group was also more prone to increased risk of microcirculatory disturbances [OR = 1.50 (0.97-2.32)]. Moreover, JAK2V617F may indicate increased risk of either arterial [OR = 1.71 (1.22-2.39)] or venous thrombosis [OR = 2.90 (1.54-5.46)] before diagnosis of ET. During follow-up, JAK2V617F might not be related to arterial thrombosis [OR = 1.90 (0.90-2.08)], but rather venous thrombosis [OR = 1.95 (1.08-3.53)]. In conclusion, JAK2V617F increased the risk of arterial and venous thrombosis in ET patients, while understanding its role in microcirculatory disturbances will require further studies.
