Genetic linkage analyses, genome-wide association studies of single nucleotide polymorphisms, copy number variation surveys, and mutation screenings found the human chromosomal 12q24 locus, with the genes SH2B3 and ATXN2 in its core, to be associated with an exceptionally wide spectrum of disease susceptibilities. Hematopoietic traits of red and white blood cells (like erythrocytosis and myeloproliferative disease), autoimmune disorders (like type 1 diabetes, coeliac disease, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome, lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, hypothyroidism and vitiligo), also vascular pathology (like kidney glomerular filtration rate deficits, serum urate levels, plasma beta-2-microglobulin levels, retinal microcirculation problems, diastolic and systolic blood pressure and hypertension, cardiovascular infarction), furthermore obesity, neurodegenerative conditions (like the polyglutamine-expansion disorder spinocerebellar ataxia type 2, Parkinson's disease, the motor-neuron disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and progressive supranuclear palsy), and finally longevity were reported. Now it is important to clarify, in which ways the loss or gain of function of the locally encoded proteins SH2B3/LNK and ataxin-2, respectively, contribute to these polygenic health problems. SH2B3/LNK is known to repress the JAK2/ABL1 dependent proliferation of white blood cells. Its null mutations in human and mouse are triggers of autoimmune traits and leukemia (acute lymphoblastic leukemia or chronic myeloid leukemia-like), while missense mutations were found in erythrocytosis-1 patients. Ataxin-2 is known to act on RNA-processing and trophic receptor internalization. While its polyglutamine-expansion mediated gain-of-function causes neuronal atrophy in human and mouse, its deletion leads to obesity and insulin resistance in mice. Thus, it is conceivable that the polygenic pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes is enhanced by an SH2B3-dysregulation-mediated predisposition to autoimmune diseases that conspires with an ATXN2-deficiency-mediated predisposition to lipid and glucose metabolism pathology.

Post-transplant erythrocytosis is an infrequent complication and has been reported after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in aplastic anemia, acute myeloid leukemia, and chronic myeloid leukemia. The pre-disposing factors and treatment are not clearly defined. We present 11 post-transplant erythrocytosis cases. More studies should be conducted to distinguish the pathogenesis and follow-up for this rare complication.

Chronic myeloproliferative disorders share a stem cell-derived clonal myeloproliferation. This group of disorders include essential thrombocythemia (ET), polycythemia vera (PV), chronic myeloid leukemia, and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), with the respective features of thrombocytosis, erythrocytosis, and bone marrow fibrosis. These disorders can be associated with genetic mutations affecting protein tyrosine kinases, resulting in different configurations of abnormal signal transduction. The Janus tyrosine kinase 2 mutation can be used as a key diagnostic tool for diagnosing MPDs, specifically, ET, PV, and PMF. Patients with ET and PV are at an increased risk for thromboembolic and hemorrhagic events. We present a unique case of ET causing extensive arterial thromboembolism, despite being on adequate antithrombotic agents including warfarin and aspirin.

Discrimination of Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph-MPNs) from reactive hypercytosis and myelofibrosis requires a constellation of testing including driver mutation analysis and bone marrow biopsies. We searched for a biomarker that can more easily distinguish Ph-MPNs from reactive hypercytosis and myelofibrosis by using RNA-seq analysis utilizing platelet rich plasma (PRP) derived RNAs from patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) and reactive thrombocytosis, and CREB3L1 was found to have an extremely high impact in discriminating the two disorders. To validate and further explore the result, expression levels of CREB3L1 in PRP were quantified by reverse transcription quantitative PCR and compared among patients with ET, other Ph-MPNs, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and reactive hypercytosis and myelofibrosis. A CREB3L1 expression cut-off value determined based on PRP of 18 healthy volunteers accurately discriminated 150 driver mutation-positive Ph-MPNs from other entities (71 reactive hypercytosis and myelofibrosis, 6 CML, and 18 healthy volunteers) and showed both sensitivity and specificity of 1.0000. Importantly, CREB3L1 expression levels were significantly higher in ET compared to reactive thrombocytosis (p < 0.0001), and polycythemia vera compared to reactive erythrocytosis (p < 0.0001). Pathology-affirmed triple-negative ET (TN-ET) patients were divided into a high and low CREB3L1 expression group, and some patients in the low expression group achieved a spontaneous remission during the clinical course. In conclusion, CREB3L1 analysis has the potential to single-handedly discriminate driver mutation-positive Ph-MPNs from reactive hypercytosis and myelofibrosis, and also may identify a subgroup within TN-ET showing distinct clinical features including spontaneous remission.
