Despite distinct clinical entities, the myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) share morphological similarities, propensity to thrombotic events and leukemic evolution, and a complex molecular pathogenesis. Well-known driver mutations, , and , determining constitutive activation of JAK-STAT signaling pathway are the hallmark of MPN pathogenesis. Recent data in MPN patients identified the presence of co-occurrence somatic mutations associated with epigenetic regulation, messenger RNA splicing, transcriptional mechanism, signal transduction, and DNA repair mechanism. The integration of genetic information within clinical setting is already improving patient management in terms of disease monitoring and prognostic information on disease progression. Even the current therapeutic approaches are limited in disease-modifying activity, the expanding insight into the genetic basis of MPN poses novel candidates for targeted therapeutic approaches. This review aims to explore the molecular landscape of MPN, providing a comprehensive overview of the role of drive mutations and additional mutations, their impact on pathogenesis as well as their prognostic value, and how they may have future implications in therapeutic management.
尽管存在明显的临床实体,但骨髓增殖性肿瘤(MPN)具有形态学相似性、倾向于发生血栓事件和白血病演变,以及复杂的分子发病机制。众所周知的驱动突变、和 ,决定 JAK-STAT 信号通路的组成性激活,是 MPN 发病机制的标志。最近在 MPN 患者中的数据确定了存在与表观遗传调控、信使 RNA 剪接、转录机制、信号转导和 DNA 修复机制相关的共发生体细胞突变。将遗传信息整合到临床环境中,已经在疾病监测和疾病进展的预后信息方面改善了患者管理。即使目前的治疗方法在疾病修饰活性方面受到限制,但对 MPN 遗传基础的深入了解为靶向治疗方法提供了新的候选方法。这篇综述旨在探讨 MPN 的分子景观,全面概述驱动突变和其他突变的作用、它们对发病机制的影响及其预后价值,以及它们将来如何对治疗管理产生影响。
