Identification of BCR-ABL1 negative, imatinib responsive patients All known imatinib-responsive fusions are associated with cytogenetically visible abnormalities except for FIP1L1- PDGFRA. Screen patients with Eos-MPN or persistent unexplained eosinophilia for FIP1L1-PDGFRA (and BCR-ABL1). Only screen for other fusions if indicated by karyotype: abnormalities of 4q11-12 (PDGFRA), 5q31-33 (PDGFRB), 9q34 (ABL) If cytogenetics fails consider split apart FISH Screen suspected mastocytosis for KIT D816V; only screen for FIP1L1- PDGFRA if eosinophilia present.
Identification of BCR-ABL1 negative, imatinib responsive patients Most BCR-ABL1 negative imatinib responders are male (>10:1 ratio for PDGFR fusions) with eosinophilia. BCR-ABL1 negative imatinib responders are very rare.

Which genes should be screened for in diagnostic labs. Who is going to pay? Is it worth paying for?
Is up front mutation profiling the best prognostic indicator? Collaboration between Jackie Boultwood, Andrea Pellagatti (Oxford) and Moritz Gerstung, Elli Papaemmanuil, Peter Campbell (Sanger Institute, Cambridge) 124 MDS cases: NGS mutation screen + GEP microarray data (Affymetrix GeneChip Human Plus 2.0 arrays) on bone marrow CD34+ cells from 124 MDS patients Built statistical models to disentangle the effect of 12 mutated genes and 4 cytogenetic alterations on gene expression, diagnostic clinical variables and outcome in patients with MDS Gerstung et al., Nat Commun. 2015 Jan 9;6:5901
prognostic power Prognostic power of gene expression, mutations and clinical parameters Genetics, gene expression, blood and bone marrow counts all contain information for predicting survival Prognostic power of expression data was greater than that of genetics, cytogenetics or IPSS score Prognostic information present in genetics and cytogenetics is mostly contained in expression and blood/bone marrow count data and does not add independent prognostic information Gene expression data provide greatest prognostic information Gerstung et al., Nat Commun. 2015 Jan 9;6:5901
Molecular MRD status provides the most powerful prognostic factor in many scenarios e.g. NPM1 mutant AML

Why do some JAK2 V617F positive patients develop PV and others develop ET? Strength of JAK2 signalling Higher JAK2 V617F allele burden (%V617F) in PMF and PV compared to ET Frequent homozygous JAK2 V617F clones in PMF and PV; rare in ET JAK2 exon 12 mutations associated with erythroid phenotype and show stronger signalling in model systems Constitutional genetic differences?
