Novel germline JAK2 mutation linked to progression to MF in MPN

The analysis reviewed clinical data and samples from patients with MPN diagnosed at the authors’ center from 2018 to 2025 to characterize the prevalence and impact of JAK2G127D mutations. Next-generation sequencing was used to detect genetic mutations in samples, and cell models were used to evaluate the functional impact of co-occurring mutations. Out of 249 samples positive for JAK2V617F mutations, 15 carried a concurrent JAK2G127D mutation. Notably, JAK2G127D mutations only co-occured with JAK2V617F mutations.
