Presentation
Classic myeloproliferative neoplasms other than chronic myeloid leukemia include primary polycythemia, essential thrombocythemia, and myelofibrosis. Familial forms account for 5-10% of cases of myeloproliferative neoplasms.
Some cases of thrombocytosis cannot be linked to a myeloproliferative neoplasm (triple negative), and additional tests to detect somatic or constitutional abnormalities may prove negative.
Whole genome sequencing may be justified in these two situations.
Criteria before considering a discussion in MDM-FMG
- Chronic thrombocytosis > 450 G/L for 6 months
- Exclusion of obvious causes (iron deficiency, inflammation, asplenia)
- Search for NMP driver mutations: JAK2V617F, CALR (exon 9), MPLW515
For familial MPN:
- Exclusion of dup14q32 if originating in Martinique
- At least 2 related cases with myeloid pathology or a single case with severity criteria or age under 40
- Family tree
For unexplained thrombocytosis:
- Somatic myeloid NGS panel covering genes frequently mutated in MPNs that do not explain the clinical picture
- Absence of germline variants of interest found in JAK2, MPL, and THPO
Trio analysis if possible, or duo or solo analysis
