Clonal evolution revealed by whole genome sequencing in a case of primary myelofibrosis transformed to secondary acute myeloid leukemia

Abstract: Clonal architecture in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) is poorly understood. Here we report genomic analyses of a patient with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) transformed to secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML). Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on PMF and sAML diagnosis samples, with skin included as a germline surrogate. Deep sequencing validation was performed on the WGS samples and an additional sample obtained during sAML remission/relapsed PMF. Clustering analysis of 649 validated somatic si… Show more

“…KIT is involved in activated signaling, 8 while GATA2 and RUNX1 are myeloid transcription factors; in addition, RUNX1 has been identified as a driver mutation in the evolution of a myeloproliferative neoplasm to acute myeloid leukemia. 9 The proportional decreased allele frequenices for CSF3R and SETBP1 after treatment with ruxolitnib (Table 1) suggest that a single sub-clone harbored these mutations and was suscepitble to inhibition of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, as was predicted. Although a previous case report did not show a reduction in CSF3R-T618I allele frequency in a patient who clinically responded to ruxolitinib, 5 it is possible that depth of responses may vary, and that this patient experienced a deeper response.…”

“…After four months of treatment, the patient had stabilization of the blood counts, with a WBC of 5.5x10 9 /L, hemoglobin 10.2 g/dL and platelets of 137x10 9 /L (Figure 1), he no longer had a palpable spleen and, clinically, had returned to his usual baseline with respect to energy and activity tolerance. He declined a follow up bone marrow examination to formally assess his response.…”

“…In recent years, with the explosion of whole genome sequencing efforts, a number of rare, but recurrent, mutations have been identified in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), suggesting that there may be several paths to the development of MPNs, which have heterogeneous clinical presentations and treatment responses. [3][4][5] To detect genes that may be correlated with response to ruxolitinib and other clinicopathologic features, we performed a comprehensive mutation profile of 29 genes recurrently mutated in primarily myeloid malignancies 6 in a cohort of 95 patients with MF who were treated with ruxolitinib in a phase 1/2 study. 7 …”

“…JAK-2 inhibition by ruxolitinib in the in vitro studies on NB-4 APL cells treated with ATRA did not affect CLL-2 and IL-8 levels, supporting the importance of JAK2 in downstream activation as previously described (1,2). However, the role of JAK-2 inhibition in the management of differentiation syndrome has not been (23)(24)(25). Since splenomegaly and FLT3-TKD were also present at the time of diagnosis, we hypothesize that the JAK2 V617F mutated MPN clone (likely PMF) was present first and that additional mutations like FLT3 and PML/RARa took place later and then led to the development of APL (26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32).…”
