| Abstract | Accumulating evidences report mutation in ASXL1 as an important predictor to clinical outcomes of patients with hematological malignancies, particularly acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. However, the prognostic impact in myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) remains underexplored. Here, we evaluated clinical and laboratory features of 208 Philadelphia negative MPN patients (polycythemia vera, PV; essential thrombocythemia, ET; primary myelofibrosis, PMF), according to mutations in ASXL1. Screening for ASXL1 mutations were performedby Sanger sequencing. Germline variations were excluded. ASXL1 mutations were detected in 22/208 patients (10%), of which four in PV patients (4/54-7%), 11 in ET patients (11/123-9%) and seven in PMF (7/31-22%). Baseline features were similar between ASXL1-mutated and non-mutated patients. Evaluated individually (PV, ET, PMF), we observed that ET patients harboring ASXL1 mutations were older (P = 0,049) than ASXL1 non-mutated patients. Similarly, PMF patients presented higher frequency of splenomegaly in ASXL1mutated group (P = 0,026). No other features were associated with ASXL1mutations. The median follow-up was 5,1 years (CI95%: 4,5-7,3 years). One hundred and thirty six patients (65%) developed some of the clinical common manifestations, which the most frequent was vascular complications (n=54; 26%), followed by splenomegaly (n=47; 22%), bleeding (n=30;14%) and thrombosis (n=21;10%). ASXL1 mutations were not associated with development of such events. In our cohort, only two patients have evolved for myelodysplastic syndrome and one for acute myeloid leukemia, all of them without mutations in ASXL1. |
