Abstract
Of 313 patients with early-onset or familial MPN, 7 (2.2%) patients had pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) germline heterozygous loss of function mutations in CHEK2. The presence of CHEK2 variants was associated with a familial history of malignancies and a higher risk of leukemic evolution, reinforcing the hypothesis of CHEK2 variants as tumor predisposing risk allele.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Hematology offers extensive coverage of experimental and clinical aspects of blood diseases in humans and animal models. The journal publishes original contributions in both non-malignant and malignant hematological diseases, encompassing clinical and basic studies in areas such as hemostasis, thrombosis, immunology, blood banking, and stem cell biology. Clinical translational reports highlighting innovative therapeutic approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of hematological diseases are actively encouraged.The American Journal of Hematology features regular original laboratory and clinical research articles, brief research reports, critical reviews, images in hematology, as well as letters and correspondence.
