Low burden of a JAK2-V617F mutated clone in monoclonal haematopoiesis in a Japanese woman with Budd-Chiari syndrome

Abstract: Approximately one-half of the cases of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) are caused by bcr/abl negative chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMPDs). Furthermore, a mutation in the Janus kinase protein (JAK2-V617F) is detected in half of the patients with BCS. However, whether the JAK2 mutation is the primary event leading to CMPDs and BCS is controversial. We present a report concerning a young woman who suffered from BCS prior to the onset of CMPDs. Analysis of X-chromosome inactivation patterns in this patient, us… Show more

“…Whether acquisition of the JAK2-V617F mutation is an early event or not in the pathogenesis of MPNs is one of the important issues to be resolved. The results of an X-chromosome based clonality assay and chromosome analysis performed in MPN patients suggested that the JAK2-V617F mutation is not a primary event in the progression of the disease (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). In addition, chromosomal abnormalities or other gene mutations have been reported to precede acquisition of JAK2-V617F in hematopoietic progenitor cells (18)(19)(20)(21), suggesting that JAK2-V617F might be associated with clonal hematopoiesis that is caused by an unknown mechanism.…”
