Germline variants in DNA repair genes, including BRCA1/2, may cause familial myeloproliferative neoplasms
3 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
The molecular causes of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) have not yet been fully elucidated. Approximately 7% to 8% of the patients carry predisposing genetic germline variants that lead to driver mutations, which enhance JAK-STAT signaling. To identify additional predisposing genetic germline variants, we performed whole-exome sequencing in 5 families, each with parent-child or sibling pairs affected by MPNs...
