OBJECTIVES: BCR-ABL1 and JAK2 V617F coexistence in myeloproliferative neoplasms has been described as concomitant or sequential events. Despite this, we present a unique case of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) not referable to either of the known scenarios.
METHODS: BCR-ABL1 molecular monitoring was performed by real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR). At the time of molecular relapse, a targeted next-generation sequencing analysis with a customized panel of 26 genes commonly mutated in myeloid diseases was performed. To investigate the kinetics of the JAK2 variant and its association with the BCR-ABL1 rearrangement, RQ-PCR was performed at different time points during the patient's follow-up.
RESULTS: While negative at CML diagnosis, the JAK2 mutation was first detected 9 years later (VAF: 7.2%). The mutational burden of JAK2 remained stable in multiple determinations, with minor fluctuations independent of BCR-ABL1 kinetics. At the last available time point, the patient was in deep molecular response (MR4), the JAK2 mutational burden was 7%, and no clinical-laboratory findings of Ph-MPN were detectable.
DISCUSSION: In the presented case, the JAK2variantoccurring during the course of the disease seems to stay in the shadows of CML, just as a bystander. The impact of this event (that may be considered suggestive of clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential) on the disease outcome, even if seemingly irrelevant, has still to be explored.
