DISCUSSION POINTS
• Refresher on the ‘established genetics’ & biology of MPNs:
• JAK2 V617F, MPL
• JAK-STAT signaling
• Introduction to the ‘newer genetics’
• Calreticulin (CALR)
• Other gene mutations outside of the JAK-STAT pathway
• Relevance of mutations to diagnosis, prognosis and
treatment of MPNs
William Dameshek, 1951 Blood Editorial
“Some Speculations on the Myeloproliferative Syndromes”
“It is possible that these various conditions‘myeloproliferative disorders’- are all somewhat variable
manifestations of proliferative activity of the bone marrow
cells, perhaps due to a hitherto undiscovered stimulus.

JAK-STAT Signaling
• A well characterized signaling
pathway involved in normal
hematopoiesis, inflammation, and
immune function
EPO or TPO
Receptor
• Four members of JAK family
• JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and Tyk2
• They are tyrosine kinases
• JAK2 specifically mediates growth
factor signaling for red blood cells
and for platelets

JAK2 V617F Mutation
• Acquired
• Arises in blood stem cells
• Results in constitutively (i.e. always)
active JAK2 tyrosine kinase
• Causes disease in mice (PV → MF)

How does one mutation cause 3 diseases?
(1) JAK2 Dependent Effects
JAK2V617F homozygosity  Polycythemia Vera
JAK2V617F heterozygosity  Essential Thrombocytosis
(2) JAK2-Independent Effects
- Co-occurring mutations
(3) Genetic background of the patient
- Variations in the DNA that one is born with that may
predispose to greater susceptibility to MPN later in life

*Delhommeau et al NEJM 2009
TET2 MUTATIONS IN NORMAL ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS
WITH CLONAL BLOOD FORMATION
A proportion of patients with
clonal blood formation and no
clinically apparent hematological
disorder have TET2 mutations.
In some cases, the acquisition of
the TET2 mutation actually
preceded development of
JAK2 mutant MPN.

Genetic Mutations in
Diagnosis and Treatment
Summary: Role of JAK2 and other mutations
in the diagnosis of MPNs
• JAK2 V617F, MPL, or CALR mutations establish the
presence of a primary bone marrow disorder, almost always
an MPN, instead of a reactive condition (e.g. infection,
inflammation)
• However, the diagnosis of an MPN requires a combination
of clinical, laboratory, histopathology, and mutation testing
• The majority of patients with ET and MF with non-mutated
JAK2 or MPL have CALR mutations
Summary: Mutations and Treatment of MPNs
In 2014:
• Treatment decisions about PV, ET, or PMF are not based on JAK2
mutation status
• IPSS/DIPSS-Plus are used to risk stratify patients into low, intermediate1/2, and high risk groups
• JAK inhibitors demonstrate activity in myelofibrosis patients with
normal or mutant JAK2
• Gene panels are becoming available in labs to evaluate for mutations
in 20+ genes
• May be useful:
1) in triple negative patients
2) to assess for poor-risk molecular markers: ASXL1, EZH2, SRSF2, IDH 1/2
 Poor risk markers: earlier referral to transplant for intermediate -1
risk patients?
Do mutations in MPN affect
response to therapy?
• Examined impact of mutations on outcome in MF patients treated on COMFORT-II trial.
