Un patient atteint de maladie de Vaquez a vu sa maladie se transformer après 15 ans en LMC. Ce patient est mainenant traité avec de l'imatinib. On peut alors formuler une hypothèse qu'une mutation JACK2 dans une MP est un facteur de risque pour une translocation BCR/ABL, soit les caractérisques de la LMC
''We report the emergence of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in a patient with JAK2V617F-positive polycythemia vera after 15 years of phlebotomy. The polycythemia vera clinical and molecular findings were suppressed at the time of CML diagnosis, only to re-emerge after the leukemia was successfully treated with imatinib. We explored the potential association between myeloproliferative disorders and CML in the context of the current literature and found a higher-than-expected coincidence based on known epidemiologic data for each specific condition. We hypothesize that myeloproliferative disorder (JAK2V617F or molecular events that cause JAK2V617F) is a risk factor for CML (BCR-ABL translocation). Because of therapeutic implications, clinicians should be aware that the conditions co-occur more frequently than once thought.''
