[Primary myelofibrosis with double mutation in U2AF1].

Abstract

A 47-year-old woman presented with subcutaneous hemorrhage. Blood tests revealed leukoerythroblastosis, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Bone marrow biopsy led to a diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis (aaDIPSS, DIPSS-plus: intermediate-II risk). JAK2, CALR, and MPL mutations were not detected in peripheral blood, but targeted sequencing of bone marrow specimens revealed a double mutation (Q157R, S34F) in U2AF1. Allo-PBSCT was performed using an HLA-matched related donor, and post-transplantation bone marrow examination showed complete donor chimerism on day 55. Two years after allogeneic transplantation, the patient remains relapse-free. Although U2AF1 gene abnormality is known as a poor prognostic factor in primary myelofibrosis, this patient had a favorable long-term prognosis due to prompt transplantation therapy. This case highlights the importance of detailed gene mutation analysis in patients with triple-negative MF.
