High Accuracy Mutation Detection in Leukemia on a Selected Panel of Cancer Genes
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC3366948
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Functional, Predisposing, Diagnostic, Prognostic
Justification: Oncogenic: The text states that JAK2 and JAK3 are known oncogenes in leukemia, and specific mutations such as M511I and A572V have been shown to induce leukemia in mice, indicating their oncogenic potential. Functional: The M511I mutation was shown to transform IL3 dependent 32D cells and induce T-ALL in mice, demonstrating a functional impact on cellular behavior. Predisposing: The presence of mutations in JAK2 and JAK3 in T-ALL patients suggests a predisposition to developing this type of leukemia, as these mutations were identified in patient samples. Diagnostic: The identification of specific mutations in JAK2 and JAK3 in T-ALL patients can serve as diagnostic markers for the disease, as indicated by their presence in patient samples. Prognostic: The somatic status of the H1297Y variant in TET1, confirmed in a remission sample, suggests that it may have implications for prognosis in T-ALL patients.
