Abstract
Monitoring residual disease in the ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms post-allogeneic stem cell transplantation: more mutations and more methodologies.
Highlights
myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) patients undergoing this procedure [2]
Studies demonstrated the achievement of a molecular remission in JAK2 V617F-positive MPN postASCT using qualitative PCR [3]
As CALR mutations are likely initiating events in MPN pathogenesis, the possibility arises to assess these mutations as markers of residual disease in MPN patients post-allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT)
Summary
MPN patients undergoing this procedure [2]. as relapse is a major cause of treatment failure post-ASCT with salvage options limited and subsequent outcome relatively poor, identification of those patients at high-risk of relapse would be highly desirable, potentially enabling therapeutic intervention before overt relapse. Post-ASCT monitoring utilizing additional patient-specific markers is most likely to provide a more beneficial, personalized profile with this approach already applied to many MPN patients undergoing ASCT. Studies demonstrated the achievement of a molecular remission in JAK2 V617F-positive MPN postASCT using qualitative PCR [3].
