RESULTS

Two hundred and thirty-two patients with chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms have been genotyped for their JAK2 V617F genotypic status. Eighty-two of 232 patients (35.4%) were diagnosed with ET, 35/232 (15.1%) PV/EV, 38/232 (16.4%) MF/OMF (osteomyelofibrosis), 70/232 (30.1%) chromic MPN and 7/232 (3.0%) with other hematological diseases (Figure 1). We performed analysis of the bone marrow biopsy samples of patients with MF/ OMF (38 individuals) and in 20 of them (52.6%) the initial diagnosis was confirmed. In six patients, the diagnosis was rejected based on the negative result of the biopsy sample (15.8%), five patients eventually proved to carry ET (13.2%), six had PV (15.8%) and one had MPN (2.6%). The mean age of the patients in our study was 62 years (29-94 years), there was an equal distribution men:women (10 vs. 10) (Table 1). According to the JAK2 genotype status: 8/20 (40.0%) were homozygous with the wild type allele (NN) (men:women = 3:5); 9/20 (45.0%) were heterozygous (MN) (men:women = 6:3) and 3/20 (15.0%) were homozygous with the mutated allele (MM) (men:women = 1:2). Overall, in 20 patients with MF, proven by trepanobiopsy, 12 (60.0%) (group 1) carried the mutant allele and eight (40.0%) (group 2) did not. The mean age of patients from group 1 was 61.4 years; men:women ratio was 7:5. Patients in group 2 showed similar characteristics (mean age 62.4 years; men:women ratio was 3:5).
