[Genetic Variation of SH2B3 in Patients with Myeloid Neoplasms].

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To observe the genetic variation of SH2B3 in patients with myeloid neoplasms. METHODS: The results of targeted DNA sequencing associated with myeloid neoplasms in the Department of Hematology, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from November 2017 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients with SH2B3 gene mutations were identified. The demographic and clinical data of these patients were collected, and characteristics of SH2B3 gene mutation, co-mutated genes and their correlations with diseases were analyzed. RESULTS: The sequencing results were obtained from 1 005 patients, in which 19 patients were detected with SH2B3 gene mutation, including 18 missense mutations (94.74%), 1 nonsense mutation (5.26%), and 10 patients with co-mutated genes (52.63%). Variant allele frequency (VAF) ranged from 0.03 to 0.66. The highest frequency mutation was p.Ile568Thr (5/19, 26.32%), with an average VAF of 0.49, involving 1 case of MDS/MPN-RS (with SF3B1 mutation), 1 case of MDS-U (with SF3B1 mutation), 1 case of aplastic anemia with PNH clone (with PIGA and KMT2A mutations), 2 cases of MDS-MLD (1 case with SETBP1 mutation). The other mutations included p.Ala567Thr in 2 cases (10.53%), p.Arg566Trp, p.Glu533Lys, p.Met437Arg, p.Arg425Cys, p.Glu314Lys, p.Arg308*, p.Gln294Glu, p.Arg282Gln, p.Arg175Gln, p.Gly86Cys, p.His55Asn and p.Gln54Pro in 1 case each. CONCLUSION: A wide distribution of genetic mutation sites and low recurrence of SH2B3 is observed in myeloid neoplasms, among of them, p.Ile568Thr mutation is detected with a higher incidence and often coexists with characteristic mutations of other diseases.
