Less than 5% of patients with polycythemia vera (PV) show JAK2 exon 12 mutations. Although PV patients with JAK2 exon 12 mutations are known to develop post-PV myelofibrosis (MF) as well as PV with JAK2V617F, the role of JAK inhibitors in post-PV MF patients with JAK2 exon 12 mutations remains unknown. We describe how treatment with a JAK1/2 inhibitor, ruxolitinib, led to the rapid amelioration of marrow fibrosis, erythrocytosis and thrombocytopenia in a 77-year-old man with post-PV MF who carried a JAK2 exon 12 mutation (JAK2H538QK539L). This case suggests that ruxolitinib is a treatment option for post-PV MF in patients with thrombocytopenia or JAK2 exon 12 mutations.
真性红细胞增多症(PV)患者中,JAK2外显子12突变的患者不到5%。虽然已知携带JAK2外显子12突变的PV患者会发展为PV后骨髓纤维化(MF)以及伴有JAK2V617F的PV,但JAK抑制剂在携带JAK2外显子12突变的PV后MF患者中的作用仍不清楚。我们描述了一名77岁携带JAK2外显子12突变(JAK2H538QK539L)的PV后MF男性患者,使用JAK1/2抑制剂鲁索替尼治疗如何迅速改善了骨髓纤维化、红细胞增多症和血小板减少症。该病例表明,鲁索替尼是血小板减少症或JAK2外显子12突变的PV后MF患者的一种治疗选择。
