摘要
AbstractObjective:A sequencing panel consisting of 50 genes was customized to reveal the potential molecular land-scapes of essential thrombocytosis, polycythemia vera, and primary myelofibrosis in Chinese patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN).Methods:Sixty-five MPN patients (38 with essential thrombocytosis, 21 with polycythemia vera, and 6 with primary myelofibrosis), including 12 triple-negative patients, were recruited and were screened for their mutational spectrum using next-generation sequencing technology in this retrospective observational study. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Changhai Hospital, Naval Military Medical University, China.Results:In addition to the typical driver mutations in JAK2, CALR, and MPL, pathogenic mutations in 15 other genes were frequently detected among the 65 patients with MPN. The 15 mutated genes were TET2, EZH2, ASXL1, MIR662, MLH1, MLH3, SF3B1, MSH6, BARD1, DNMT3A, KIT, MSH2, RUNX1, TP53, and NRAS in this order according to the mutational frequency detected. The average number of mutated genes was 1.2 genes per patient, while in the 12 triple-negative patients with MPN (ie, patients that lack the JAK2, CALR, or MPL mutations), at least one of the 15 pathogenic mutations was detected for each patient. Interestingly, 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs4858647, rs9376092, rs58270997, rs621940) that might be correlated to individual susceptibility to myeloproliferative neoplasm were identified among the 65 patients. We also found that single nucleotide polymorphism and/or single nucleotide variation mutations occurred in multiple loci of mismatch repair-related genes, which might contribute to the development of MPN.Conclusion:Our study confirms the importance of the previously known MPN relative genes and, more importantly, provides some new and potentially valuable information about mutations associated with MPNs.
