Abstract

Background: In the 2016 WHO classification, the subgroup of BCR::ABL1 negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) is made up of three entities: polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), which are characterized by mutations in the JAK2, MPL, and CALR genes with important diagnostic and prognostic value.

Objective: To determine the frequency of mutations in the JAK2, MPL, and CALR genes in BCR::ABL1 negative chronic MPNs and to explore the association between the type of BCR::ABL1 negative chronic MPNs, mutational status, and blood count parameters in patients from two hospitals in the city of Medellín, Colombia, during 2020-2021.

Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive observational study, which included patients with a diagnosis of BCR::ABL1-negative MPNs. JAK2, MPL, and CALR genes were assessed by massive sequencing using the illumina® TruSight One panel. A descriptive analysis was performed by estimating relative and absolute frequencies or summary measures (central tendency, dispersion, or position) depending on the nature of the variables.

Results: A total of 24 patients were included in the study; 37.5% of the cases corresponded to patients with ET. The distribution according to mutational status was non-mutated or triple negative in 13 cases (54.2%) and mutated in 11 cases (45.8%). The pathogenic mutations found in order of frequency were JAK2 (82%), MPL (9%), and CALR (9%).

Conclusion: Our study is consistent with what has been reported in the world literature, with JAK2 V617F being the most frequent mutation in BCR::ABL1-negative MPNs. Lower frequencies for CALR and MPL may be influenced by the sample size.
