Abstract
Neutrophil-lymphocyte (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte (PLR), eosinophil-lymphocyte (ELR), and monocyte-lymphocyte (MLR) ratios are systemic inflammatory markers related to myocardial infarction. The aim of this study is to investigate the association of Src homology 2-B adapter protein 3 (SH2B3) C784 T and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677 T polymorphisms (SNP) with systemic inflammatory markers and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in 150 ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Single nucleotide polymorphisms were genotyped using the tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS-PCR) method. The inflammatory markers were calculated. An interventional cardiologist blinded to other data assessed the SYNTAX (SX) Score. Eosinophil and platelet counts were significantly higher in SH2B3 variants than in the wild type. Additionally, SH2B3 variants had significantly higher ELR than the wild type (.12 ± .19 vs .25 ± .34, p = .018). NLR, PLR, ELR, and MLR were considerably higher in MTHFR variants than in the wild type (p < .05). The SX score was significantly higher in both SH2B3 C784 T (21.24 ± 8.90 vs 15.29 ± 9.40, p = .00) and MTHFR C677 T (20.34 ± 10.21 vs 16.08 ± 8.39, p = .00) variants when compared with wild type. In conclusion, these polymorphisms are associated with several markers of systemic inflammation as well as the severity of CAD.

Abstract
Background: JAK2, CALR, and MPL gene mutations are recognized as driver mutations of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). MPNs without these mutations are called triple-negative (TN) MPNs. Recently, novel mutation loci were continuously discovered using next-generation sequencing (NGS), along with continued discussion and modification of the traditional TN MPN. Case presentation: Novel pathogenic mutations were discovered by targeted NGS in 4 patients who were diagnosed as JAK2 unmutated polycythaemia vera (PV) or TN MPN. Cases 1, 2, and 3 were of patients with PV, essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF); NGS detected JAK2 p.H538_K539delinsQL (uncommon), CALR p.E380Rfs*51 (novel), and MPL p.W515_Q516del (novel) mutations. Case 4 involved a patient with PMF; JAK2, CALR, or MPL mutations were not detected by qPCR or NGS, but a novel mutation SH2B3 p.S337Ffs*3, which is associated with the JAK/STAT signal transduction pathway, was found by NGS. Conclusion: NGS, a more multidimensional and comprehensive gene mutation detection, is required for patients suspected of having MPN to detect non-canonical driver variants and avoid the misdiagnosis of TN MPN. SH2B3 p.S337Ffs*3 can drive MPN occurrence, and SH2B3 mutation may also be a driver mutation of MPN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interferon-gamma receptor deficiency is a heterogeneous spectrum of disease which involves mutations in IFNGR1, IFNGR2 genes, and the downstream signaling proteins such as STAT1. These mutations are associated with immunodeficiency 27 A and 27B, making the patient prone to mycobacterial infections. Patients with this condition are also at increased risk for affliction with viral and bacterial infections, such as with the Herpesviridae family, Listeria, and Salmonella. Moreover, SH2B3 mutation is associated with autoimmune and lymphoproliferative conditions. CASE PRESENTATION the patient was a 19-month-old infant girl who presented with a two-week history of fever. She had near-normal flowcytometry with high IgM and IgE. She had pneumonic infiltration in her chest and right hilar and para-aortic lymphadenopathy. PCR of whole blood for Aspergillus fumigatus came back positive. In her Whole Exome Sequencing she had IFNGR1 and SH2B3 mutations. CONCLUSION systemic fungal infections such as Aspergillosis can occur in patients with interferon-gamma receptor one deficiency. This type of immunodeficiency should be considered in treating patients with systemic Aspergillosis.

Abstract
Autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD) arises from a complex interplay between multiple genetic susceptibility polymorphisms and environmental factors. The first genome wide association study (GWAS) with patients from Scandinavian Addison's registries has identified association signals at four novel loci in the genes LPP, SH2B3, SIGLEC5, and UBASH3A. To verify these novel risk loci, we performed a case-control association study in our independent cohort of 420 patients with AAD from the across the UK. We report significant association of alleles of the LPP and UBASH3A genes [odds ratio (95% confidence intervals), 1.46 (1.21-1.75)and 1.40 (1.16-1.68), respectively] with AAD in our UK cohort. In addition, we report nominal association of AAD with SH2B3 [OR 1.18 (1.02-1.35)]. We confirm that variants at the LPP and UBASH3A loci confer susceptibility to AAD in a UK population. Further studies with larger patient cohorts are required to robustly confirm the association of SH2B3 and SIGLEC5/SPACA6 alleles.

Abstract
Background CBL syndrome is a RASopathy caused by heterozygous germline mutations of the Casitas B-lineage lymphoma (CBL) gene. It is characterized by heterogeneous clinical phenotype, including developmental delay, facial dysmorphisms, cardiovascular malformations and an increased risk of cancer development, particularly juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). Although the clinical phenotype has been progressively defined in recent years, immunological manifestations have not been well elucidated to date.
Methods We studied the genetic, immunological, coagulative, and clinical profile of a family with CBL syndrome that came to our observation after the diagnosis of JMML, with homozygous CBL mutation, in one of the members. Results Variant analysis revealed the co-occurrence of CBL heterozygous mutation (c.1141 T > C) and SH2B3 mutation (c.1697G > A) in two other members. Patients carrying both mutations showed an ALPS-like phenotype characterized by lymphoproliferation, cytopenia, increased double-negative T-cells, impaired Fas-mediated lymphocyte apoptosis, altered cell death in PBMC and low TRECs expression. A coagulative work-up was also performed and showed the presence of subclinical coagulative alterations in patients carrying both mutations. Conclusion In the reported family, we described immune dysregulation, as part of the clinical spectrum of CBL mutation with the co-occurrence of SH2B3.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically, morphologically, and genetically heterogeneous group of malignancies characterized by a wide range of genomic alterations responsible for defective regulation of the differentiation and self-renewal programs of hematopoietic stem cells. Here, we report a 4-month-old boy who had acute onset with leukocytosis and abdominal mass. The morphological analysis of bone marrow (BM) smear revealed extremely marrow hyperplasia, large quantities of immature cells, and primary and immature monocytic hyperplasia accounting for 57.5% of nucleated cells. The chromosome karyotype of the case was complex, representing 48, XY, +13, +19[12]/48, idem, del (p12)[8]. After RNAs sequencing, a mutation (c.346G > A, p.G116S) of the GNB1 gene was detected and localized to the mutational hotspot in Exon 7. Meanwhile, the other three mutations were identified by next-generation sequencing (NGS) and whole-exome sequencing (WES) of DNA from the BM aspirate and oral swab, including BCORL1 mutation [c.2632A > G, p.S878G, mutation allele frequency (VAF): 99.95%], SH2B3 mutation (c.1606G > A, p.A536T, VAF: 51.17%), and KMT2D mutation (c.11124C > G, p.S3708R, VAF: 48.95%). BCORL1 mutations have been associated with the pathogenesis of AML, whereas other mutations have rarely been previously reported in pediatric AML. The patient did not undergo the combination chemotherapy and eventually died of respiratory failure. In conclusion, the concurrence of BCORL1, GNB1, SH2B3, and KMT2D mutations may be a mutationally detrimental combination and contribute to disease progression.

Abstract
LNK is a member of the SH2B family of adaptor proteins and is a non-redundant regulator of cytokine signalling. Cytokines are secreted intercellular messengers that bind to specific receptors on the surface of target cells to activate the Janus Kinase-Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (JAK-STAT) signalling pathway. Activation of the JAK-STAT pathway leads to proliferative and often inflammatory effects, and so the amplitude and duration of signalling are tightly controlled. LNK binds phosphotyrosine residues to signalling proteins downstream of cytokines and constrains JAK-STAT signalling. Mutations in LNK have been identified in a range of haematological and inflammatory diseases due to increased signalling following the loss of LNK function. Here, we review the regulation of JAK-STAT signalling via the adaptor protein LNK and discuss the role of LNK in haematological diseases.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive brain tumor in adults. The aberrant activation of STAT3 commonly occurs in GBM and is a key player in GBM tumorigenesis. Yet, the aberrant activation of STAT3 signaling is not fully understood. Here, we report that SH2B adaptor protein 3 (SH2B3) is highly expressed in GBM and preferentially expressed in GBM stem cells (GSCs). Moreover, SH2B3 high expression predicts worse survival of GBM patients. Targeting SH2B3 considerably impairs GBM cell proliferation, migration, and GSCs' self-renewal in vitro as well as xenograft tumors growth in vivo. Additionally, we provide evidence suggesting that STAT1 directly binds to the promoter of SH2B3 and activates SH2B3 expression in the transcriptional level. Functionally, SH2B3 facilitates GBM progression via physically interacting with gp130 and acting as an adaptor protein to transduce IL-6/gp130/STAT3 signaling. Together, our work firstly uncovers that the STAT1/SH2B3/gp130/STAT3 signaling axis plays critical roles in promoting GBM progression and provides insight into new prognosis marker and therapeutic target in GBM.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the SH2B3, MTHFD1L, GGCX, and ITGB3 gene variants on the efficacy of warfarin treatment and its effects on the risk of cardiovascular disorders in Jordanian patients. The selected genes and their polymorphisms are involved in many Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) associated with cardiovascular disease and the variability of warfarin therapy. The current study conducted a genetic association and pharmacogenetics study in (212) Jordanian cardiovascular patients treated with warfarin and (213) healthy controls. DNA extraction and the Mass ARRAY™ system were used to genotype ten selected polymorphisms within four genes (SH2B3, MTHFD1L, GGCX, and ITGB3). This study confirmed a genetic association of MTHFD1L rs6922269 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) with warfarin sensitivity during the initial and stabilization phases of treatment. Moreover, this SNP showed significant differences in the initial and maintenance doses of warfarin. This study also found an association between the genetic haplotypes (AGC and GAT) within the SH2B3 gene and responsiveness to warfarin. However, possession of an MTHFD1L rs491552 variant allele was found to affect the outcome measure of the international normalized ratio (INR) during the stabilization phase of warfarin treatment. In contrast, there was no association between all selected SNPs and susceptibility to cardiovascular disorders. This study extends the current understanding of the high variability of the warfarin response, including variability in dose requirements and susceptibility to cardiovascular disease in the Jordanian-Arab population. Other studies on a larger sample and in different ethnic groups could help to better understand the pharmacogenetics of warfarin and its application in personalized medicine.

Abstract
Background Bone marrow stem cell clonal dysfunction by somatic mutation is suspected to affect post-infarction myocardial regeneration after coronary bypass surgery (CABG). Methods Transcriptome and variant expression analysis was studied in the phase 3 PERFECT trial post myocardial infarction CABG and CD133+ bone marrow derived hematopoetic stem cells showing difference in left ventricular ejection fraction (∆LVEF) myocardial regeneration Responders (n=14; ∆LVEF +16% day 180/0) and Non-responders (n=9; ∆LVEF -1.1% day 180/0). Subsequently, the findings have been validated in an independent patient cohort (n=14) as well as in two preclinical mouse models investigating SH2B3/LNK antisense or knockout deficient conditions. Findings 1. Clinical: R differed from NR in a total of 161 genes in differential expression (n=23, q<0•05) and 872 genes in coexpression analysis (n=23, q<0•05). Machine Learning clustering analysis revealed distinct RvsNR preoperative gene-expression signatures in peripheral blood acorrelated to SH2B3 (p<0.05). Mutation analysis revealed increased specific variants in RvsNR. (R: 48 genes; NR: 224 genes). 2. Preclinical:SH2B3/LNK-silenced hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) clones displayed significant overgrowth of myeloid and immune cells in bone marrow, peripheral blood, and tissue at day 160 after competitive bone-marrow transplantation into mice. SH2B3/LNK−/− mice demonstrated enhanced cardiac repair through augmenting the kinetics of bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells, increased capillary density in ischemic myocardium, and reduced left ventricular fibrosis with preserved cardiac function. 3. Validation: Evaluation analysis in 14 additional patients revealed 85% RvsNR (12/14 patients) prediction accuracy for the identified biomarker signature. Interpretation Myocardial repair is affected by HSC gene response and somatic mutation. Machine Learning can be utilized to identify and predict pathological HSC response.

Abstract
The physiopathology of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is complex and still not fully elucidated. The genes localized outside the histocompatibility complex involved in regulation and signal transduction of the immune system SH2B3, TGFβ1, STAT4 and PTPN22 could be associated to the susceptibility and hepatocyte lysis mechanism of this lethal autoimmune disorder. PATIENTS AND METHODS We investigated four polymorphic sites in SH2B3 (rs3184504), TGFβ1 (rs1800471), STAT4 (rs7574865) and PTPN22 (rs2476601) in 45 AIH patients and 150 healthy controls from Tunisia using real-time PCR. RESULTS Significant associations were found for SH2B3 T allele (OR = 1.861; p = 0.015, pc = 0.366) and PTPN22 A allele (OR = 7.070; p = 0.026; pc = 1.00) and AIH with opposite homozygous being protective against the disease (CC genotype with OR = 0.420, p = 0.025; GG genotype with OR = 0.136, p = 0.025, respectively). No statistically significant associations were found for the TGFβ1 and STAT4 polymorphisms with AIH susceptibility. CONCLUSION Our work enlarges information on non-HLA genes that are associated with AIH by focusing in a region of the world that was poorly molecularly characterized for this disease.

Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) represents the most common childhood malignancy. Although survival for pediatric B-ALL has approached 90%, variability in outcome among and within cytogenetically defined subgroups persists. While G-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) have been used to characterize leukemic clones, there is added value of chromosomal microarray and next generation sequencing in screening genome-wide for copy number aberrations, copy neutral loss of heterozygosity and nucleotide variations. Evaluation of novel genetic aberrations can provide information about the biologic mechanisms of cytogenetically defined subgroups associated with poor prognosis, explain heterogeneity in patient outcome and identify novel targets for therapeutic intervention. The high risk B-ALL intrachromosomal amplification of chromosome 21, (iAMP21), subtype is characterized by amplification of a region of chromosome 21 that typically encompasses the RUNX1 gene and is associated with poor prognosis. Analysis of chromosomal microarray and FISH data revealed that deletions of SH2B3, encoding a negative regulator of multiple tyrosine kinase and cytokine signaling pathways, are enriched among leukemias harboring iAMP21. Enrichment of SH2B3 aberrations in the iAMP21 subtype may indicate that loss of SH2B3 contributes to disease progression and raises the possibility that these leukemias may be sensitive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remains the leading cause of cancer-related death in children and young adults. Compared to ALL in children, adult ALL has a much lower cure rate. Therefore, it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying high-risk ALL and to develop therapeutic strategies that specifically target genes or pathways in ALL. Here, we explored the IL7R and SH2B3 expression in adult ALL and found that IL7R is significantly higher and Sh2B3 lower expressed in B-ALL compared to normal bone marrow control, and the IL7RhighSH2B3low is associated with high-risk factors, and with high relapse rate and low disease-free survival rate in the patients. We also found that Ikaros deletion was associated with the IL7RhighSH2B3low expression pattern and Ikaros directly binds the IL7R and SH2B3 promoter, and suppresses IL7R and promotes SH2B3 expression. On the other hand, casein kinase inhibitor, which increases Ikaros function, inhibits IL7R and stimulates SH2B3 expression in an Ikaros dependent manner. Our data indicate that IL7RhighSH2B3low expression distinguishes a novel subset of high-risk B-ALL associated with Ikaros dysfunction, and also suggest the therapeutic potential for treatment that combines casein kinase inhibitor, as an Ikaros activator, with drugs that target the IL7R signaling pathway.

Abstract
After two decades of intensive research and attempts of clinical translation, stem cell based therapies for cardiac diseases are not getting closer to clinical success. This review tries to unravel the obstacles and focuses on underlying mechanisms as the target for regenerative therapies. At present, the principal outcome in clinical therapy does not reflect experimental evidence. It seems that the scientific obstacle is a lack of integration of knowledge from tissue repair and disease mechanisms. Recent insights from clinical trials delineate mechanisms of stem cell dysfunction and gene defects in repair mechanisms as cause of atherosclerosis and heart disease. These findings require a redirection of current practice of stem cell therapy and a reset using more detailed analysis of stem cell function interfering with disease mechanisms. To accelerate scientific development the authors suggest intensifying unified computational data analysis and shared data knowledge by using open-access data platforms.

Abstract
To determine whether sex differences affect the association between genetic polymorphisms and coronary artery disease (CAD) in the Chinese Han population, we conducted a study comparing the frequency of SH2B3 and SMARCA4 variants in 456 CAD patients (291 men, 165 women) and 685 age-matched controls (385 men, 300 women). Ten single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SH2B3 and SMARCA4 were genotyped using MassARRAY technology. Allelic and genotypic models and haplotype frequencies were compared between groups. Logistic regression was used to estimate the CAD risk associated with the genotypes. We found that the “A” alleles in both rs11879293 and rs12232780 of SMARCA4 were associated with CAD risk in men (p = 0.036 and p = 0.001, respectively). The genetic model showed that SH2B3 was associated with CAD susceptibility in both women and men, while SMARCA4 was associated with reduced odds of CAD in men. SH2B3 haplotypes were associated with decreased CAD risk in women (p = 0.007) and increased CAD risk in men (p = 0.047). By providing evidence for the sex-related association between SH2B3 and SMARCA4 gene variants and CAD susceptibility in the Chinese Han population, this study may help define useful diagnostic and preventive markers for these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The phase III clinical trial PERFECT was designed to assess clinical safety and efficacy of intramyocardial CD133+ bone marrow stem cell treatment combined with CABG for induction of cardiac repair. DESIGN Multicentre, double-blinded, randomised placebo controlled trial. SETTING The study was conducted across six centres in Germany October 2009 through March 2016 and stopped due slow recruitment after positive interim analysis in March 2015. PARTICIPANTS Post-infarction patients with chronic ischemia and reduced LVEF (25-50%). INTERVENTIONS Eighty-two patients were randomised to two groups receiving intramyocardial application of 5ml placebo or a suspension of 0.5-5×106 CD133+. OUTCOME Primary endpoint was delta (∆) LVEF at 180days (d) compared to baseline measured in MRI. FINDINGS (PRESPECIFIED) Safety (n=77): 180d survival was 100%, MACE n=2, SAE n=49, without difference between placebo and CD133+. Efficacy (n=58): The LVEF improved from baseline LVEF 33.5% by +9.6% at 180d, p=0.001 (n=58). Treatment groups were not different in ∆LVEF (ANCOVA: Placebo +8.8% vs. CD133+ +10.4%, ∆CD133+vs placebo +2.6%, p=0.4). FINDINGS (POST HOC) Responders (R) classified by ∆LVEF≥5% after 180d were 60% of the patients (35/58) in both treatment groups. ∆LVEF in ANCOVA was +17.1% in (R) vs. non-responders (NR) (∆LVEF 0%, n=23). NR were characterized by a preoperative response signature in peripheral blood with reduced CD133+ EPC (RvsNR: p=0.005) and thrombocytes (p=0.004) in contrast to increased Erythropoeitin (p=0.02), and SH2B3 mRNA expression (p=0.073). Actuarial computed mean survival time was 76.9±3.32months (R) vs. +72.3±5.0months (NR), HR 0.3 [Cl 0.07-1.2]; p=0.067.Using a machine learning 20 biomarker response parameters were identified allowing preoperative discrimination with an accuracy of 80% (R) and 84% (NR) after 10-fold cross-validation. INTERPRETATION The PERFECT trial analysis demonstrates that the regulation of induced cardiac repair is linked to the circulating pool of CD133+ EPC and thrombocytes, associated with SH2B3 gene expression. Based on these findings, responders to cardiac functional improvement may be identified by a peripheral blood biomarker signature. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.govNCT00950274.
