Polycythemia vera (PV) is invariably associated with a JAK2 mutation, with over 50% of patients harboring additional non-JAK2 mutations. In the current study, 319 patients with PV underwent NGS at diagnosis or in chronic phase PV (Group A: N = 270, 85%) or at the time of fibrotic (Group B; N = 37, 12%) or leukemic (Group C; N = 12, 4%) transformation. Mutational frequencies involving TP53/SRSF2/IDH1/U2AF1 were significantly (p < 0.05) different between patients in the mutually exclusive Groups A (2%/4%/2%/0.4%), B (8%/0%/0%/5%), and C (50%/25%/17%/8%). Analyses on phenotype/genotype associations and prognostic impact on overall (OS), leukemia-free (LFS), and myelofibrosis-free (MFFS) survival were limited to Group A patients. ASXL1 was associated with younger age (p < 0.01), SRSF2 with older age and leukocytosis (p < 0.01), and TP53 with leukocytosis (p < 0.01). Mutation co-segregation was apparent between ASXL1 and IDH2 (p < 0.01) or SRSF2 (p < 0.01), SRSF2 and IDH2 (p < 0.01), and TP53 and NRAS (p = 0.01). Multivariable analysis identified SRSF2 (p < 0.01; HR, 4.2, 1.9-9.5), IDH2 (p = 0.01; HR, 5.3, 1.8-15.3), ASXL1 (p = 0.04; HR, 2.0, 1.1-3.7), leukocyte count ≥ 15 × 10/L (p < 0.01; HR 2.0, 1.3-3.1), and advanced age (p < 0.01) as risk factors for OS. Median OS in the presence (N = 235; 87%) or absence (N = 35; 13%) of any adverse mutation (i.e., SRSF2, ASXL1, or IDH2) was 8.8 versus 17.8 years (p = 0.01; HR 1.8, 1.1-2.9). In addition, ASXL1 (p = 0.02; HR, 1.6-24.9), SRSF2 (p = 0.06; HR, 11.9, 1.1-126.2), and advanced age (p = 0.04) were associated with inferior LFS, and SRSF2 (p < 0.01; HR, 24.0, 5.5-103.8) and abnormal karyotype (p < 0.01; HR 3.8, 1.6-8.9) with inferior MFFS. The number of non-JAK2 mutations was significant in predicting outcome in univariate but not multivariable analysis. The observations from the current study highlight the prognostic significance of non-JAK2 mutations in PV and the prospect of their inclusion in future prognostic models.
真性红细胞增多症(PV)总是与JAK2突变相关,超过50%的患者还存在其他非JAK2突变。在本研究中,319例PV患者在诊断时、慢性期PV(A组:N = 270,85%)、纤维化期(B组;N = 37,12%)或白血病转化期(C组;N = 12,4%)接受了二代测序(NGS)。在相互排斥的A组(2%/4%/2%/0.4%)、B组(8%/0%/0%/5%)和C组(50%/25%/17%/8%)患者中,涉及TP53/SRSF2/IDH1/U2AF1的突变频率存在显著差异(p < 0.05)。对表型/基因型关联以及对总生存期(OS)、无白血病生存期(LFS)和无骨髓纤维化生存期(MFFS)的预后影响的分析仅限于A组患者。ASXL1与较年轻的年龄相关(p < 0.01),SRSF2与较年长的年龄和白细胞增多相关(p < 0.01),TP53与白细胞增多相关(p < 0.01)。ASXL1与IDH2(p < 0.01)或SRSF2(p < 0.01)、SRSF2与IDH2(p < 0.01)以及TP53与NRAS(p = 0.01)之间存在明显的突变共分离现象。多变量分析确定SRSF2(p < 0.01;HR,4.2,1.9 - 9.5)、IDH2(p = 0.01;HR,5.3,1.8 - 15.3)、ASXL1(p = 0.04;HR,2.0,1.1 - 3.7)、白细胞计数≥15×10⁹/L(p < 0.01;HR 2.0,1.3 - 3.1)和高龄(p < 0.01)是OS的危险因素。存在(N = 235;87%)或不存在(N = 35;13%)任何不良突变(即SRSF2、ASXL1或IDH2)时的中位OS分别为8.8年和17.8年(p = 0.01;HR 1.8,1.1 - 2.9)。此外,ASXL1(p = 0.02;HR,1.6 - 24.9)、SRSF2(p = 0.06;HR,11.9,1.1 - 126.2)和高龄(p = 0.04)与较差的LFS相关,SRSF2(p < 0.01;HR,24.0,5.5 - 103.8)和异常核型(p < 0.01;HR 3.8,1.6 - 8.9)与较差的MFFS相关。在单变量分析中,非JAK2突变的数量对预后有显著预测价值,但在多变量分析中并非如此。本研究的观察结果突出了非JAK2突变在PV中的预后意义以及将其纳入未来预后模型的前景。
