Regional assignment of five markers to chromosome 2 of Ateles paniscus chamek (APC) confirmed a syntenic association similar to human (HSA) 12q + 14q + 15q. TCF1 was allocated to a shortest region of overlap (SRO) in APC 2p and found to be syntenic to PEPB, while TGM1, CALM1, THBS1, and B2M were assigned to APC 2q, being syntenic to NP, HEXA, and MPI. Conversely, markers close to HSA 14qter (CKB) and HSA 15qter (FES-IDH2) were relocated to other Ateles syntenic groups. Karyotypic comparisons showed an evident homoeology between APC 2p and HSA 12q, whereas APC 2q was similar to an HSA 14qter::HSA 15qter fusion product.

Regional assignment of eight markers to chromosome 2 of Ateles paniscus chamek (APC) confirmed a syntenic association similar to human (HSA) 12q + 14q + 15q. Three HSA 12q markers (RAP1B, PAH and ALDH2) were allocated to a shortest region of overlap (SRO) in APC 2p and found to be syntenic to other HSA 12q markers (PEPB and TCF1). Five HSA 14q markers (CTLA, PAX9, NSP, FOS and CHGA) were allocated to APC 2q and found to be syntenic to other HSA 14q markers (NP, TGM1, and CALM1) and to four HSA 15q markers (THBS1, B2M, HEXA and MPI) but dissociated from markers close to HSA 14qter (CKB) and HSA 15qter (FES-IDH2). Karyotypic comparisons showed an evident homoeology between APC 2p and HSA 12q while APC 2q was similar to an HSA 14qter::HSA 15qter fusion product. Comparative gene mapping data show that the HSA 14q + HSA 15q syntenic association is an ancestral mammalian gene cluster that has been maintained in several primate taxa. Conversely, in Ateles, it has been further associated with HSA 12q while, in Hominoids and Cebus, it has been independently dissociated into two separate syntenic groups, similar to HSA 14q and HSA 15q.

Bone marrow DNA was screened for isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations in 200 patients with chronic (n=166) or blast (n=34) phase myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Included among the former were 77 patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), 47 essential thrombocythemia and 38 polycythemia vera (PV). Nine IDH mutations (5 IDH1 and 4 IDH2) were detected; mutational frequencies were approximately 21% (7 of 34) for blast-phase MPN and approximately 4% (3 of 77) for PMF. IDH mutations were seen in only 1 of 12 paired chronic-blast-phase samples and in none of 27 concurrently studied acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients without antecedent MPN. IDH1 mutations included R132C (n=4; two post-PMF AML, one post-PV AML and one PMF) and R132S (n=1; post-PMF AML). IDH2 mutations included R140Q (n=3; one post-PMF AML, one post-PV AML and one PMF) and a novel R140W (n=1; mutation found in both chronic- and blast-phase samples). The entire study cohort was also screened for JAK2 and MPL mutations and JAK2V617F was found in three IDH-mutated cases (two PMF and one PV). This study shows a relatively high incidence of IDH mutations in blast-phase MPN, regardless of JAK2 mutational status, and the occurrence of similar mutations in chronic-phase PMF.

The 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) criteria were used to identify 88 consecutive Mayo Clinic patients with 'myelodysplastic syndrome with isolated del(5q)' (median age 74 years; 60 females). In all, 60 (68%) patients were followed up to the time of their death. Overall median survival was 66 months; leukemic transformation was documented in five (5.7%) cases. Multivariable analysis identified age >or=70 years (P=0.01), transfusion need at diagnosis (P=0.04) and dysgranulopoiesis (P=0.02) as independent predictors of shortened survival; the presence of zero (low risk), one (intermediate risk) or >or=2 (high risk) risk factors corresponded to median survivals of 102, 52 and 27 months, respectively. Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), thrombopoietin receptor (MPL), isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and IDH2 mutational analysis was performed on archived bone marrows in 78 patients; JAK2V617F and MPLW515L mutations were shown in five (6.4%) and three (3.8%) patients, respectively, and did not seem to affect phenotype or prognosis. IDH mutations were not detected. Survival was not affected by serum ferritin and there were no instances of death directly related to iron overload. The current study is unique in its strict adherence to WHO criteria for selecting study patients and providing information on long-term survival, practical prognostic factors, baseline risk of leukemic transformation and the prevalence of JAK2, MPL and IDH mutations.

In a multi-institutional collaborative project, 1473 patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) were screened for isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1)/IDH2 mutations: 594 essential thrombocythemia (ET), 421 polycythemia vera (PV), 312 primary myelofibrosis (PMF), 95 post-PV/ET MF and 51 blast-phase MPN. A total of 38 IDH mutations (18 IDH1-R132, 19 IDH2-R140 and 1 IDH2-R172) were detected: 5 (0.8%) ET, 8 (1.9%) PV, 13 (4.2%) PMF, 1 (1%) post-PV/ET MF and 11 (21.6%) blast-phase MPN (P<0.01). Mutant IDH was documented in the presence or absence of JAK2, MPL and TET2 mutations, with similar mutational frequencies. However, IDH-mutated patients were more likely to be nullizygous for JAK2 46/1 haplotype, especially in PMF (P=0.04), and less likely to display complex karyotype, in blast-phase disease (P<0.01). In chronic-phase PMF, JAK2 46/1 haplotype nullizygosity (P<0.01; hazard ratio (HR) 2.9, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.7-5.2), but not IDH mutational status (P=0.55; HR 1.3, 95% CI 0.5-3.4), had an adverse effect on survival. This was confirmed by multivariable analysis. In contrast, in both blast-phase PMF (P=0.04) and blast-phase MPN (P=0.01), the presence of an IDH mutation predicted worse survival. The current study clarifies disease- and stage-specific IDH mutation incidence and prognostic relevance in MPN and provides additional evidence for the biological effect of distinct JAK2 haplotypes.

Somatic mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2) were recently demonstrated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but their prevalence and prognostic impact remain to be explored in large extensively characterized AML series, and also in various other hematologic malignancies. Here, we demonstrate in 893 newly diagnosed cases of AML mutations in the IDH1 (6%) and IDH2 (11%) genes. Moreover, we identified IDH mutations in 2 JAK2 V617F myeloproliferative neoplasias (n = 96), a single case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n = 96), and none in chronic myeloid leukemias (n = 81). In AML, IDH1 and IDH2 mutations are more common among AML with normal karyotype and NPM1(mutant) genotypes. IDH1 mutation status is an unfavorable prognostic factor as regards survival in a composite genotypic subset lacking FLT3(ITD) and NPM1(mutant). Thus, IDH1 and IDH2 mutations are common genetic aberrations in AML, and IDH1 mutations may carry prognostic value in distinct subtypes of AML.

Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML) is a haematological disease currently classified in the category of myelodysplastic syndromes/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) because of its dual clinical and biological presentation. The molecular biology of CMML is poorly characterized. We studied a series of 53 CMML samples including 31 cases of myeloproliferative form (MP-CMML) and 22 cases of myelodysplastic forms (MD-CMML) using array-comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH) and sequencing of 13 candidate genes including ASXL1, CBL, FLT3, IDH1, IDH2, JAK2, KRAS, NPM1, NRAS, PTPN11, RUNX1, TET2 and WT1. Mutations in ASXL1 and in the genes associated with proliferation (CBL, FLT3, PTPN11, NRAS) were mainly found in MP-CMML cases. Mutations of ASXL1 correlated with an evolution toward an acutely transformed state: all CMMLs that progressed to acute phase were mutated and none of the unmutated patients had evolved to acute leukaemia. The overall survival of ASXL1 mutated patients was lower than that of unmutated patients.

Myeloproliferative/myelodysplastic syndromes are rare diseases that include a proliferative component, mainly on the white cells and platelets, and a dysplastic component that accounts for one or several cytopenias. The most frequent of these diseases in chronic myelo-monocytic leukemia, a disease of elderly people that has long been associated with myelodysplastic syndromes in biological studies as well as in clinical trials. The recent identification of a number of genetic mutations in the leukemic clone, including frequent mutations in TET2, ASXL1 and RUNX1, less frequent mutations in NRAS, KRAS and C-CBL, and rare mutations in JAK2, FLT3, IDH1, IDH2, and EZHR2 may improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease. Patient care depends on the disease risk, especially the percentage of blast cells in the bone marrow, the age and the performance status. Supportive care is required in all patients. In high risk patients, the only curative therapeutic is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which is rarely feasible due to the age of the patients and the absence of donor. Demethylating agents such as azacitidine and decitabine are currently the most efficient drugs. The prognosis remains poor, with a median survival lower than 24 months.

Most BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) carry an activating JAK2 mutation. Approximately 96% of patients with polycythemia vera (PV) harbors the V617F mutation in JAK2 exon 14, whereas the minority of JAK2 (V617F)-negative subjects shows several mutations in exon 12. Other mutation events as MPL, TET2, LNK, EZH2 have been described in chronic phase, while NF1, IDH1, IDH2, ASX1, CBL and Ikaros in blast phase of MPN. The specific pathogenic implication of these mutations is under investigation, but they may have a role in refinement of diagnostic criteria and in development of new prognostic models. Several trials with targeted therapy (JAK inhibitors) are ongoing mostly involving patients with PMF, post-PV MF and post-essential thrombocythemia (ET) MF. Treatment with ruxolitinib and TG101348 has shown clinically significant benefits, particularly in improvement of splenomegaly and constitutional symptoms in MF patients. On the other hand, JAK inhibitors have not thus far shown disease-modifying activity therefore any other deduction on these new drugs seems premature.

Mutations in the TET2 and ASXL1 genes have been described in approximately 14% and 8% of patients, respectively, with classic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), but their role as possible new diagnostic molecular markers is still inconclusive. In addition, other genes such as IDH1, IDH2, and c-CBL have also been reported in several myeloid neoplasms. We have studied the mutational status of TET2 (complete coding region), ASXL1 (exon12), IDH1 (R132), IDH2 (R140 and R172), and c-CBL (exons 8 and 9) in 62 MPN patients (52 essential thrombocythemia (ET), five polycythemia vera (PV), and five primary myelofibrosis (PMF)) negative for both JAK2 (V617F and exon 12) and MPL (exon 10) mutations. Pathogenic alterations in the TET2 gene were detected in three out 52 ET cases (4.8%). ASXL1 gene pathogenic mutations were also detected in three cases (two ET and one PMF). One ET patient harbored, simultaneously, one TET2 and one ASXL1 mutations. Mutations in the TET2 and ASXL1 genes showed no association with the JAK2 46/1 haplotype. Analysis of a JAK2V617F-positive cohort of 50 ET patients showed no mutations in either the TET2 or ASXL1 genes. Regarding IDH1, IDH2, and c-CBL genes, no mutations were found in any patient. In conclusion, TET2 and ASXL1 pathogenic mutations are found in 8% of MPN lacking JAK2 and MPL mutations, whereas IDH1, IDH2, and c-CBL mutations are not detected in this subset of patients.
