SH2B3 (LNK) rs3184504 polymorphism is correlated with JAK2 V617F-positive myeloproliferative neoplasms

Background: Pathogenesis and phenotypic diversity in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) cannot be fully explained by the currently known acquired mutations alone. Some susceptible germline variants of different genes have been proved to be associated with the development of these diseases. The goal...

Description
Summary:Background: Pathogenesis and phenotypic diversity in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) cannot be fully explained by the currently known acquired mutations alone. Some susceptible germline variants of different genes have been proved to be associated with the development of these diseases. The goal of our study was to evaluate the association between the rs3184504 polymorphism of SH2B3 (LNK) gene (p.R262W, c.784T>C) and the risk of developing the four typical MPN - polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), primary myelofibrosis (PMF), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
