Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder. Tyrosine Kinase JAK2 (JAK2 V617F) mutation occurs in nearly 60% of Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) patients. Both diseases produce impaired platelet. We describe a case with ET following ITP. So far, only 3 reports described ET following ITP. We report the fourth patient with JAK2 V617F mutation at the onset of ITP presented 20 years ago that needed splenectomy. The association of these two diseases may recommend similar pathogenic mechanisms between Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs) and ITP that should be further explored.

AbstractObjectiveDetection ofJAK2V617F in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) is very important in both diagnosis and disease progression. In our study, we investigated the frequency ofJAK2V617F mutation in patients with myeloproliferative disorders.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the records of 720 patients (174 females and 546 males) who were tested for JAK2 V617F mutation from January 2007 to December 2017.ResultsIn our patients were determined 22.6%JAK2V617F mutation. 33.3% in women, 19.2% in men have been positive forJAK2V617F mutation. In our studyJAK2V617F present in 48.6% of essential thrombocythemia, 80.5% of polycythemia rubra vera (PV), 47.5% of primary myelofibrosis, 10% of MPNs, unclassifiable, 0.8% of others. We also investigated the difference in hematological parameters [white blood cell, hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (HCT), red blood cell distribution widths (RDW) and platelets count (PLT)] betweenJAK2V617F positive andJAK2V617F negative patients.ConclusionsInvestigation of the JAK2 V617F mutation is very important in cases of MPNs. In our study JAK2 V617F mutation was higher in PV, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis patients. However, there were significant differences in Hb, HCT, RDW and PLT levels in mutation-positive patients.

Abstract Abstract 4687 JAK2 mutation is commonly found in Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). In Western countries, this mutation is found in approximately 96 percent of people with polycythemia vera, half of individuals with essential thrombocythemia or primary myelofibrosis. We used the method of amplification refractory mutation PCR (ARMS-PCR) to investigate MPN patients in China. We focused our study on patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET). ARMS-PCR was used to detect JAK2 V617F mutation in the bone barrow (BM) or peripheral blood of 37 MPN patients, which consisting of 7 ET, 5 polycythemia vera (PV), 5 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), 5 chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis (CIMF), as well as 15 suspected MPNs. 17 cases of JAK2 V617F mutation (45.9%) were found in 37 patients, including 4 ET (57.1%), 4 PV (80.0%), 3 CIMF (60.0%), 6 suspected MPNs (40.0%). We did not find JAK2 V617F in the patients with CML. Our results indicated that the frequency of JAK2 V617F mutation in bcr/abl-negative MPNs in Chinese is similar to that in MPN patients in Western countries. At the same time, ARMS-PCR can distinguish the mutation is heterozygous or homozygous. Most patients were heterozygous for JAK2 but only a few were homozygous. In conclusion, our study showed that JAK2 V617F mutation frequency in Chinese MPN patients is similar to that in patients with this disorder in the West. It is the major molecular genetic abnormality in bcr-abl negative MPN and it can be used for diagnosis of MPN in China. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

The JAK2 V617F mutation is a major diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring molecular target of Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). To date, numerous methods of detecting the JAK2 V617F mutation have been reported, but there is no gold-standard diagnostic method for clinical applications. Here, we developed and validated an efficient Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR associated protein 12a (Cas12a)-based assay to detect the JAK2 V617F mutation. Our results showed that the sensitivity of the JAK2 V617F/Cas12a fluorescence detection system was as high as 0.01%, and the JAK2 V617F/Cas12a lateral flow strip assay could unambiguously detect as low as 0.5% of the JAK2 V617F mutation, which was much higher than the sensitivity required for clinical application. The minimum detectable concentration of genomic DNA achieved was 0.01 ng/μL (~5 aM, ~3 copies/μL). In addition, the whole process only took about 1.5 h, and the cost of an individual test was much lower than that of the current assays. Thus, our methods can be applied to detect the JAK2 V617F mutation, and they are highly sensitive, rapid, cost-effective, and convenient.

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is one of the myeloproliferative neoplasms, characterized by persistent thrombocytosis, platelets >450,000/μL, and evident clonal abnormalities like JAK2 V617F, MPL, CALR mutation and not fulfilling WHO criteria for MDS, CML, PV, and IDA. Here we report a 24-year-old female who presented with headache and was found to have thrombocytosis with a platelet count of 2,141 × 103/μL, diagnosed as ET as per WHO criteria 2008; she required ICU admission and thrombocytapheresis with a favorable outcome.

Abstract A single acquired point mutation of JAK2 1849G>T (V617F), a tyrosine kinase with a key role in signal transduction from growth factor receptors, is found in 70%–97% of patients with polycythemia vera (PV). In the studies of tyrosine kinase inhibitors on JAK2 1849G>T (see Gaikwad et all abstract at this meeting) we decided to study the possible therapeutic effect of these agents using native in vitro expanded cells from peripheral blood. To our surprise, the in vitro expansion of PV progenitors preferentially augmented cells without JAK2 1849G>T mutation. We used a 3 step procedure to amplify erythroid precursors in different stages of differentiation from the peripheral blood of 5 PV patients previously found to be homozygous or heterozygous for the JAK2 1849G>T mutation. In the first step (days 1–7), 106/ml MNCs were cultured in the presence of Flt-3 (50 ng/ml), Tpo (100 ng/ml), and SCF (100 ng/ml). In the second step (days 8–14), the cells obtained on day 7 were re-suspended at 106/ml in the same medium with SCF (50 ng/ml), IGF-1 (50 ng/ml), and 3 units/ml Epo. In the third step, the cells collected on day 14 were re-suspended at 106/ml and cultured for two more days in the presence of the same cytokine mixture as in the step 2 but without SCF. The cultures were incubated at 37oC in 5% CO2/95% air atmosphere and the medium renewed every three days to ensure good cell proliferation. The expanded cells were stained with phycoerythrin-conjugated anti-CD235A (glycophorin) and fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated anti-human-CD71 (transferrin receptor) monoclonal antibodies and analyzed by flow cytometry. The cells were divided by their differential expression of these antigens into 5 subgroups ranging from primitive erythroid progenitors (BFU-Es and CFU-Es) to polychromatophilic and orthochromatophilic erythroblasts; over 70% of harvested cells were early and late basophilic erythroblasts. The proportion of JAK2 1849G>T mutation in clonal PV granulocytes (GNC) before in vitro expansion and in expanded erythroid precursors was quantitated by pyrosequencing (Jelinek, Blood in press) and is depicted in the Table. These data indicate that in vitro expansion of PV progenitors favors expansion of erythroid precursors without JAK2 V617F mutation. Since three PV samples were from females with clonal granulocytes, erythrocytes, and platelets, experiments were underway to determine if the in vitro expanded erythroid cells were clonal PV cells without JAK2 V617F mutation, or derived from polyclonal rare circulating normal hematopoietic progenitors. The Proportion of JAK2 T Allele Patients GNC T Allele (%) Expanded Cells T Allele (%) PV1 (Female) 81 10 PV2 (Male) 77 28 PV3 (Male) 44 42 PV4 (Female) 78 19 PV5 (Female) 78 28
