RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are at higher risk of developing secondary malignancies. In this study, we focused on patients with MPNs that complicated lymphoid neoplasms. To analyze the real-world status of lymphoid neoplasm treatment in patients with pre-existing MPNs in Japan, we conducted a multicenter retrospective study. METHODS: Questionnaires were sent to collect the data on patients who were first diagnosed with either polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia or myelofibrosis and who later were complicated with lymphoid neoplasms defined as malignant lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small cell lymphoma. RESULTS: Twenty-four patients with MPNs complicated by lymphoid neoplasms were enrolled (polycythemia vera, n = 8; essential thrombocythemia, n = 14; and primary myelofibrosis, n = 2). Among these, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was the most frequently observed (n = 13, 54.1%). Twelve (92.3%) of the patients with DLBCL received conventional chemotherapy. Among these 12 patients, regarding cytoreductive therapy for MPNs, 8 patients stopped treatment, one continued treatment, and two received a reduced dose. Consequently, most patients were able to receive conventional chemotherapy for DLBCL with a slightly higher dose of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support than usual without worse outcomes. All 3 patients with multiple myeloma received a standard dose of chemotherapy. CONCLUSION: Our data indicate that if aggressive lymphoid neoplasms develop during the course of treatment in patients with MPNs, it is acceptable to prioritize chemotherapy for lymphoma.

RESUMO

Myeloid neoplasms with germline predisposition have been recognized increasingly over the past decade with numerous newly described disorders. Penetrance, age of onset, phenotypic heterogeneity, and somatic driver events differ widely among these conditions and sometimes even within family members with the same variant, making risk assessment and counseling of these individuals inherently difficult. In this review, we will shed light on high malignant penetrance (e.g., CEBPA, GATA2, SAMD9/SAMD9L, and TP53) versus variable malignant penetrance syndromes (e.g., ANKRD26, DDX41, ETV6, RUNX1, and various bone marrow failure syndromes) and their clinical features, such as variant type and location, course of disease, and prognostic markers. We further discuss the recommended management of these syndromes based on penetrance with an emphasis on somatic aberrations consistent with disease progression/transformation and suggested timing of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. This review will thereby provide important data that can help to individualize and improve the management for these patients.

RESUMO

Myeloid neoplasms are clonal disorders that arise via acquisition of genetic mutations leading to excessive proliferation and defective differentiation. Mutational profiling is vital as it has implications for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic decision-making. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has become a mainstay in the evaluation of myeloid malignancies, as it enables efficient characterization of multiple genetic changes. Herein, the analytical validation of the 37-gene Archer VariantPlex Core Myeloid panel is reported, using 58 DNA specimens with 87 single-nucleotide variants and 23 insertions/deletions. The panel achieved good depth of coverage, 100% analytical sensitivity and specificity for single-nucleotide variants and insertions/deletions ≤21 bp, and 100% reproducibility, with a reportable limit of detection determined as 5%. The Archer NGS panel can accurately and reproducibly detect variants of clinical significance in myeloid neoplasms. A retrospective analysis of 535 clinical specimens tested with the Archer NGS panel showed a frequency and pattern of mutations across myeloid malignancies that were similar to other published studies. A review of the diagnostic classification of patients with acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome using the World Health Organization 2017/2022 and International Consensus Classification 2022 guidelines, in addition to European LeukemiaNet 2017/2022 risk stratification of patients with acute myeloid leukemia, was also performed to assess the utility of the molecular information provided by the Archer NGS panel.

RESUMO

AIMS: Liquid biopsy (LBx)-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) can facilitate molecular profiling of haematopoietic neoplasms (HNs), particularly when tissue-based NGS is infeasible. METHODS AND RESULTS: We studied HN LBx samples tested with FoundationOne Liquid CDx, FoundationOne Liquid, or FoundationACT between July 2016 and March 2022. We identified 271 samples: 89 non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), 43 plasma-cell neoplasm (PCN), 41 histiocytoses, 27 myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), 25 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 22 myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), 14 Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), and 10 acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Among 73.4% with detectable pathogenic alterations, median maximum somatic allele frequency (MSAF) was 16.6%, with AML (36.2%), MDS (19.7%), and MPN (44.5%) having higher MSAFs than DLBCL (3.9%), NHL (8.4%), HL (1.5%), PCN (2.8%), and histiocytoses (1.8%) (P = 0.001). LBx detected characteristic alterations across HNs, including in TP53, KRAS, MYD88, and BTK in NHLs; TP53, KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF in PCNs; IGH in DLBCL; TP53, ATM, and PDCD1LG2 in HL; BRAF and MAP2K1 in histiocytoses; TP53, SF3B1, DNMT3A, TET2, and ASXL1 in MDS; JAK2 in MPNs; and FLT3, IDH2, and NPM1 in AML. Among 24 samples, the positive percent agreement by LBx was 75.7% for variants present in paired buffy coat, marrow, or tissues. Also, 75.0% of pairs exhibited alterations only present on LBx. These were predominantly subclonal (clonal fraction of 3.8%), reflecting the analytical sensitivity of LBx. CONCLUSION: These data demonstrate that LBx can detect relevant genomic alterations across HNs, including at low clonal fractions, suggesting a potential clinical utility for identifying residual or emerging therapy-resistant clones that may be undetectable in site-specific tissue biopsies.

RESUMO

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are the leading causes of unusual site thrombosis, affecting nearly 40% of individuals with conditions like Budd-Chiari syndrome or portal vein thrombosis. Diagnosing MPNs in these cases is challenging because common indicators, such as spleen enlargement and elevated blood cell counts, can be obscured by portal hypertension or bleeding issues. Recent advancements in diagnostic tools have enhanced the accuracy of MPN diagnosis and classification. While bone marrow biopsies remain significant diagnostic criteria, molecular markers now play a pivotal role in both diagnosis and prognosis assessment. Hence, it is essential to initiate the diagnostic process for splanchnic vein thrombosis with a JAK2 V617F mutation screening, but a comprehensive approach is necessary. A multidisciplinary strategy is vital to accurately determine the specific subtype of MPNs, recommend additional tests, and propose the most effective treatment plan. Establishing specialized care pathways for patients with splanchnic vein thrombosis and underlying MPNs is crucial to tailor management approaches that reduce the risk of hematological outcomes and hepatic complications.

RESUMO

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are chronic cancers characterized by overproduction of mature blood cells. Their causative somatic mutations, for example, JAK2V617F, are common in the population, yet only a minority of carriers develop MPN. Here we show that the inherited polygenic loci that underlie common hematological traits influence JAK2V617F clonal expansion. We identify polygenic risk scores (PGSs) for monocyte count and plateletcrit as new risk factors for JAK2V617F positivity. PGSs for several hematological traits influenced the risk of different MPN subtypes, with low PGSs for two platelet traits also showing protective effects in JAK2V617F carriers, making them two to three times less likely to have essential thrombocythemia than carriers with high PGSs. We observed that extreme hematological PGSs may contribute to an MPN diagnosis in the absence of somatic driver mutations. Our study showcases how polygenic backgrounds underlying common hematological traits influence both clonal selection on somatic mutations and the subsequent phenotype of cancer.

RESUMO

Disease progression in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myelodysplastic-myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN), and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), altogether referred to as myeloid neoplasms (MN), is a major source of mortality. Apart from transformation to acute myeloid leukemia, the clinical progression of MN is mostly due to the overgrowth of pre-existing hematopoiesis by the MN without an additional transforming event. Still, MN may evolve along other recurrent yet less well-known scenarios: (1) acquisition of MPN features in MDS or (2) MDS features in MPN, (3) progressive myelofibrosis (MF), (4) acquisition of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML)-like characteristics in MPN or MDS, (5) development of myeloid sarcoma (MS), (6) lymphoblastic (LB) transformation, (7) histiocytic/dendritic outgrowths. These MN-transformation types exhibit a propensity for extramedullary sites (e.g., skin, lymph nodes, liver), highlighting the importance of lesional biopsies in diagnosis. Gain of distinct mutations/mutational patterns seems to be causative or at least accompanying several of the above-mentioned scenarios. MDS developing MPN features often acquire MPN driver mutations (usually JAK2), and MF. Conversely, MPN gaining MDS features develop, e.g., ASXL1, IDH1/2, SF3B1, and/or SRSF2 mutations. Mutations of RAS-genes are often detected in CMML-like MPN progression. MS ex MN is characterized by complex karyotypes, FLT3 and/or NPM1 mutations, and often monoblastic phenotype. MN with LB transformation is associated with secondary genetic events linked to lineage reprogramming leading to the deregulation of ETV6, IKZF1, PAX5, PU.1, and RUNX1. Finally, the acquisition of MAPK-pathway gene mutations may shape MN toward histiocytic differentiation. Awareness of all these less well-known MN-progression types is important to guide optimal individual patient management.

RESUMO

Venous and arterial thromboembolism are major complications of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), comprising polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). Global hemostasis assays, including thrombin generation assay (TGA), rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), and thromboelastography (TEG), have been proposed as biomarkers to assess the hypercoagulability and thrombotic risk stratification in MPNs. We performed a systematic literature review on the parameters of TGA, ROTEM, and TEG and their association with thrombotic events and treatment strategies in MPNs. Thirty-two studies (all cross-sectional) were included, which collectively enrolled 1,062 controls and 1,608 MPN patients. Among the 13 studies that reported arterial or venous thrombosis, the overall thrombosis rate was 13.8% with 6 splanchnic thromboses reported. Out of the 27 TGA studies, there was substantial heterogeneity in plasma preparation and trigger reagents employed in laboratory assays. There was a trend toward increased peak height among all MPN cohorts versus controls and higher endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) between ET patients versus controls. There was an overall trend toward lower ETP between PV and PMF patients versus. controls. There were no substantial differences in ETP between JAK2-positive versus JAK2-negative MPNs, prior history versus negative history of thrombotic events, and among different treatment strategies. Of the three ROTEM studies, there was a trend toward higher maximum clot firmness and shorter clot formation times for all MPNs versus controls. The three TEG studies had mixed results. We conclude that the ability of parameters from global hemostasis assays to predict for hypercoagulability events in MPN patients is inconsistent and inconclusive. Further prospective longitudinal studies are needed to validate these biomarker tools so that thrombotic potential could be utilized as a primary endpoint of such studies.

RESUMO

In this manuscript, we review myeloid neoplasms in the fifth edition of the World Health Organization classification of hematolymphoid tumors (WHO-HEM5), focusing on changes from the revised fourth edition (WHO-HEM4R). Disease types and subtypes have expanded compared with WHO-HEM4R, mainly because of the expansion in genomic knowledge of these diseases. The revised classification is based on a multidisciplinary approach including input from a large body of pathologists, clinicians, and geneticists. The revised classification follows a hierarchical structure allowing usage of family (class)-level definitions where the defining diagnostic criteria are partially met or a complete investigational workup has not been possible. Overall, the WHO-HEM5 revisions to the classification of myeloid neoplasms include major updates and revisions with increased emphasis on genetic and molecular drivers of disease. The most notable changes have been applied to the sections of acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic neoplasms (previously referred to as myelodysplastic syndrome) with incorporation of novel, disease-defining genetic changes. In this review we focus on highlighting the updates in the classification of myeloid neoplasms, providing a comparison with WHO-HEM4R, and offering guidance on how the new classification can be applied to the diagnosis of myeloid neoplasms in routine practice.

RESUMO

Myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) usually has an adverse prognosis, progressing to acute leukemia or splanchnic vein thromboses (SVTs). Therefore, early diagnosis and intervention are significantly important. Clinically, the burden of JAK2V617F is a vital diagnostic basis, which can be detected during the early stage of MPN. Thus, an accurate and rapid detective technique is urgently required. In recent years, real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) has primarily been applied to detect the copies of JAK2V617F, whereas droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), a novel and promising detective tool, can conduct precise and repeatable quantification of nucleic acid copies without relying on the standard curve. In our study, both qPCR and ddPCR are used to evaluate the mutation burden of JAK2V617F in a series of gradient diluted standards and clinical JAK2V617F-positive MPN patients' bone marrow samples collected, while using next-generation sequencing technology (NGS) as a contrast. With the help of statistical methods, our study concluded that ddPCR had a better performance in accuracy, sensitivity, and stability, especially in a low burden. Regarding the accuracy, ddPCR showed a better linearity (Pearson R2 = 0.9926; P < 0.0001) than qPCR (Pearson R2 = 0.9772; P < 0.0001). What is more, ddPCR showed lower intra-assay and inter-assay CVs and the limit of detection (LOD) for the series of diluted standards than qPCR, demonstrating better stability and lower LOD. In a nutshell, ddPCR is a more promising technique for the detection and quantification of JAK2V617F.

RESUMO

Next-generation sequencing is becoming increasingly important for the diagnosis, risk stratification, and management of patients with established or suspected myeloid malignancies. These tests are being incorporated into clinical practice guidelines and many genetic alterations now constitute disease classification criteria. However, the reimbursement for these tests is uncertain. This study analyzed the clinical impact, ordering practices, prior authorization, and reimbursement outcomes of 505 samples from 477 patients sequenced with a 50-gene myeloid next-generation sequencing panel or a 15-gene myeloproliferative neoplasm subpanel. Overall, 98% (496 of 505) of tests provided clinically useful data. Eighty-nine percent of test results, including negative findings, informed or clarified potential diagnoses, 94% of results informed potential prognoses, and 19% of tests identified a potential therapeutic target. Sequencing results helped risk-stratify patients whose bone marrow biopsy specimens were inconclusive for dysplasia, monitor genetic evolution associated with disease progression, and delineate patients with mutation-defined diagnoses. Despite the clinical value, prior authorization from commercial payors or managed government payors was approved for less than half (45%) of requests. Only 51% of all cases were reimbursed, with lack of medical necessity frequently cited as a reason for denial. This study demonstrates the existence of a substantial gap between clinical utility and payor policies on test reimbursement.

RESUMO

BCR::ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are classically represented by polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis. BCR::ABL1-negative MPNs are significantly associated with morbidity and mortality related to an increased risk of thrombo-hemorrhagic events. They show a consistent association with splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT), either represented by the portal, mesenteric or splenic vein thrombosis, or Budd-Chiari Syndrome. SVT is also a frequent presenting manifestation of MPN. MPNs associated with SVT show a predilection for younger women, high association with JAK2V617F mutation, low JAK2V617F variant allele frequency (generally <10 %), and low rates of CALR, MPL, or JAK2 exon 12 mutations. Next-Generation Sequencing techniques have contributed to deepening our knowledge of the molecular landscape of such cases, with potential diagnostic and prognostic implications. In this narrative review, we analyze the current perspective on the molecular background of MPN associated with SVT, pointing as well future directions in this field.

RESUMO

Myeloid neoplasms are heterogeneous tumors derived from early hematopoietic progenitors. Most international guidelines, including the European LeukemiaNet 2022 update, recommend testing a comprehensive set of genes, most within a 3- to 5-day period for optimal treatment decisions. Next-generation sequencing gene panels are essential for identifying genetic alterations, risk stratification, and determining targeted therapies for myeloid malignancies. This study describes the analytical validation of the Oncomine Myeloid Assay GX v2 (Myeloid GX v2) in combination with the Ion Torrent Genexus System using commercial controls, 16 variant-negative samples, and 130 clinical samples of myeloid neoplasms. The Myeloid GX v2 panel detected single nucleotide variants (SNVs), insertions/deletions (indels) (allele frequency >5%), and gene fusions (minimum 11 fusion copies/µL) in synthetic controls with a sensitivity of 100%. Specificity for detection of SNVs, indels, or fusions in 16 variant-negative samples was 100%. Sensitivity for detection of SNVs, indels, and gene fusions in 130 clinical samples was 99%, 97%, and 100%, respectively. Overall precision was 100% for SNVs, 96% for indels, and 100% for fusions. The average turnaround time from nucleic acid extraction to results was 2 days. The Myeloid GX v2 panel is highly accurate and reproducible for the detection of SNVs, indels, and gene fusions in myeloid neoplasms. The ability to deliver clinically relevant results in a short time is key to providing personalized treatments.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The BCR::ABL1 negative myeloproliferative neoplasms are sequentially tested for JAK2 p.V617F, followed by CALR exon 9 pathogenic variants. Historically, these variants were thought to be mutually exclusive. However, recent reports indicate coexisting JAK2 p.V617F and CALR exon 9 somatic variants. METHODS: Analysis of JAK2 p.V617F and CALR exon 9 variant was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays. Subsequent testing was performed on the Genexus integrated sequencer (ThermoFisher) using the Oncomine myeloid assay GX v2. RESULTS: CALR exon 9 variants were positive in 3 cases, while 2 were positive for JAK2 p.V617F on PCR-based assays. Next-generation sequencing confirmed the JAK2 P.V617F status in all cases. CALR variants resulting in in-frame deletions were identified in 2 cases at a variant allele frequency of 52.16% and 50.91%, while the third case had an intronic CALR variant c.-48G>A at a variant allele frequency of 51.1%. Thus, CALR variants in all 3 cases were interpreted as potentially germline. Of the 228 cases that underwent JAK2 p.V617F and CALR cotesting in the past 2 years, only these 2 cases were positive for both JAK2 p.V617F and CALR exon 9 variants. CONCLUSIONS: These cases highlight the importance of understanding the pitfalls of molecular techniques in current practice.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients negative for the JAK2 p.V617F somatic variant are frequently reflexed to testing for MPL exon 10 variants. Detection of these variants via multiplexed allele-specific PCR followed by fragment analysis has been previously published. The present study builds on this concept by improving the detection of the p.W515A variant, adding a second allele-specific primer to detect the p.W515R variant, and incorporating an improved primer for p.S505N detection. METHODS: The W515 amplification employs 5'-labeled allele-specific forward primers to detect p.W515K, p.W515L, p.W515R, and p.W515A. The p.S505N amplification includes an allele-specific reverse primer with a tail extension. Fragments were subject to capillary electrophoresis on an ABI 3500 Genetic Analyzer and analyzed using GeneMapper 6.0 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). RESULTS: Thirty MPL-negative and 13 MPL-positive samples previously tested by a reference laboratory were tested with the MPL LDT. Results were 100% concordant. The MPL LDT has a limit of detection of at least 5% VAF for the p.W515 variants and 10% VAF for the p.S505N variant. CONCLUSION: Current MPL assays are predominantly focused on p.W515L/K and p.S505N mutations. We have engineered an MPL test for detecting p.W515A/L/K/R and p.S505N variants, thereby increasing the diagnostic yield with little additional expense or technician time.

RESUMO

A 66-year-old male presented with hypereosinophilia, thrombocytosis, extensive thrombosis refractory to direct oral anticoagulant therapy, and evidence of end-organ damage, including rash, splenic infarcts, and pulmonary infiltrates. Bone marrow biopsy revealed myeloid malignancy consistent with both chronic eosinophilic leukemia and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) with SF3B1 mutation and thrombocytosis. Next-generation sequencing of the patient's eosinophils and neutrophil compartments revealed pathologic variants in EZH2 and SF3B1 in addition to a noncanonical JAK2 R683S mutation that has not been previously described in myeloproliferative disorders or other chronic myeloid neoplasms. These mutations were not present in the patient's lymphoid cell fraction, suggesting that the hematopoietic malignancy arose in a myeloid-committed progenitor cell. Based on this case and previous work from our group, we propose that noncanonical JAK2 mutations may permit signal transduction that biases toward eosinophilic differentiation in chronic myeloid neoplasms. Although the patient's blood counts initially responded to ruxolitinib and hydroxyurea, the response was not durable. Early referral for allogenic bone marrow transplant appears necessary to prevent long-term complications and disease progression in myeloid neoplasms with clonal hypereosinophilia driven by noncanonical JAK2 mutations.

RESUMO

Background: Treatment of Philadelphia chromosome negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph - MPNs) requires individualized approach depending on multiple factors. Novel pegylated Interferon (IFN) formulations have become an attractive therapeutic option in young Ph- MPN patients associated with better patient compliance. Methods: In this retrospective observational study a total of 16 high-risk Ph- MPN patients treated off-label with ropeginterferon alfa-2b given twice monthly, were included. Median follow-up was 24 months. High-risk patients were defined using the IPSET score. Response to treatment was evaluated using ELN, IWG-MET EUMNET standardized criteria and occurrence of side effects was documented. Results: 11 patients were female (68.8%) and 5 male (31.2%); average age at diagnosis was 36 years (17-51); 12 patients (75%) had ET, one (6.2%) PV and three (18.8%) hypercellular phase of PMF. JAK2V617F mutation was detected in 10 patients (62.5%), CALR in three (18.8%), and three (18.7%) were triple-negative cases. In 7 patients (43.7%), ropeginterferon alfa-2b was used in first-line, and 9 (56.3%) were previously treated with HU and/or standard IFN. Among initially ropeginterferon alfa-2b treated patients, complete haematological response was observed in 4/7 (57.1%), partial in 2/7 (28.6%) and suboptimal in one (14.3%). Complete haematological response was observed in 8/9 (88.9%) among previously treated patients. Average time to blood count normalization was 8 weeks, at a dose ranging between 100mcg and 300mcg. Side effects were observed in one patient (6.2%). Conclusion: Our experience is in support of previous studies regarding ropeginterferon alfa-2b efficacy and safety profile in the treatment of young patients with Ph- MPNs.
