JAK2 p.V617F mutation – tetra-primer PCR and PCR-RFLP comparative semiquantitative approaches for estimation of the mutant allele in myeloproliferative neoplasms

Abstract:

Polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia and primary myelofibrosis are the three typical BCR-ABL negative myeloproliferative neoplasms. Recent studies indicated that a somatic single-point mutation, JAK2 p.V617F is a crucial molecular event in the pathogenesis of these diseases. Taking into consideration the importance of this mutation as a diagnosis and prognosis marker, we adapted in our laboratory a tetra-primer polymerase chain reaction (tetra-primer PCR) and a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragments length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) previously described assays for detection of JAK2 p.V617F. Meanwhile, we built a dilution based scale of mutant p.V617F homozygous DNA in wild-type homozygous DNA which serves for a semiquantitative estimation of the mutant allele proportion. Both techniques were shown to be similar sensitive: the lower detection limit of mutant allele was around 2% (tetra-primer PCR) and around 3% (PCR-RFLP); however the tetra-primer PCR has the advantage over the PCR-RFLP of being a more rapid assay. We succesufully managed to implement tetra-primer PCR and PCR-RFLP assays for JAK2 p.V617F analysis and to provide meanwhile semiquantitative approaches for estimation of the mutant allele in myeloproliferative neoplasms.
