LIG3 as an essential part of the SSB was significantly lower expressed compared to controls in all three entities (essential thrombocythemia (ET), polycythemia vera (PV), and myelofibrosis (MF)).
We performed a molecular evaluation combining next-generation sequencing with a myeloid panel and CALR allele burden measurement at diagnosis and during follow-up in a cohort of 45 patients with CALR-mutated essential thrombocythaemia.
The V617F mutation in the JH2 domain of JAK2 is an oncogenic driver in several myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including essential thrombocythemia, myelofibrosis, and polycythemia vera (PV).
Approximately 6% and 14% of JAK2V617F-negative essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) patients, respectively, have 'canonical' MPL exon 10 driver mutations W515L/K/R/A or S505N, which generate constitutively active receptors and consequent loss of Tpo dependence.

A 70-year-old woman with a five-year history of ET with JAK2V617F mutation treated with hydroxycarbamide for five months presented with petechiae on her limbs.
Herein, we present the first case in the literature, to our knowledge, of a 63-year old ethnic Korean man with essential thrombocythemia who was diagnosed with a novel +1-bp frameshift mutation in CALR, which was predicted to exhibit a type 2-like phenotype.
Aberrant activation of the JAK/STAT pathway is thought to be the critical event in the pathogenesis of the chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms, polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia and primary myelofibrosis.
To make a definite diagnosis of essential thrombocytosis (ET) from reactive thrombocytosis (RT), the most reliable criteria are the presence of driver mutations, namely JAK2, CALR, or MPL gene mutations.

Frameshifting mutations (-1/+2) of the calreticulin (CALR) gene are responsible for the development of essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF).
The data suggested that the IVF-ET treatments altered AII-mediated vasoconstrictions in umbilical veins, which could be partially attributed to the increased expression of AT1R.
