Evaluation of the association between the JAK2 46/1 haplotype and chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms in a Brazilian population

TLDR
The JAK2 46/1 haplotype, represented in this study by the presence of the G allele, is an important predisposing factor in the oncogenetic development of these neoplasms in the studied population.

What is a paternal effect

TL;DR: Three basic types of paternal effect are distinguished and key questions that can serve as a road map for research on the proximate basis and evolutionary implications of paternal effects are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection for male infertility and consequences for offspring

TL;DR: Existing evidence does not support ICSI in preference over in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the general non-male factor ART population; however, in couples with unexplained infertility, I CSI is associated with lower fertilization failure rates than IVF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paternal factors contributing to embryo quality

TL;DR: It is proposed that careful assessment of spermatozoal parameters is essential to achieve embryo development and a healthy live birth and the need for more research and the development of standardized protocols to assess the role of sperm factors affecting embryo quality.

JAK2V617F somatic mutation in the general population: myeloproliferative neoplasm development and progression rate.

TL;DR: Level of JAK2V617F mutation burden was associated with myeloproliferative neoplasm progression rate, consistent with a biological continuum of increasing JAK 2V617f mutation burden across increasing severity of myeloplasm from no disease to primary myelofibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and epigenetic alterations induced by bisphenol A exposure during different periods of spermatogenesis: from spermatozoa to the progeny

TL;DR: BPA male exposure jeopardizes embryonic survival and development due to the transmission of a paternal damaged genome and of a hyper-acetylated histone profile, both alterations depending on the dose of the toxicant and the temporal window of exposure.

Janus kinases: components of multiple signaling pathways

TL;DR: It has been found that JAK kinase function is required for optimal activation of the Src-kinase cascade, the Ras-MAP kinase pathway, the PI3K-AKT pathway and STAT signaling following the interaction of cytokine/interferon receptors with their ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI

JAK2 haplotype is a major risk factor for the development of myeloproliferative neoplasms.

TL;DR: It is reported here that JAK2V617F-associated disease is strongly associated with a specific constitutional Jak2 haplotype, designated 46/1, in all three disease entities compared to healthy controls and provides a model whereby a constitutional genetic factor is associated with an increased risk of acquiring a specific somatic mutation.

Genetic and clinical implications of the Val617Phe JAK2 mutation in 72 families with myeloproliferative disorders

TL;DR: The analysis of the hematologic profile showed that the homozygous JAK2 mutation confers a proliferative advantage and is associated with the progression of thehematologic disease.

Increased risks of polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and myelofibrosis among 24 577 first-degree relatives of 11 039 patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms in Sweden. Commentary

TL;DR: In this article, the relative risks of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and myelofibrosis (MF), were calculated using a marginal survival model and 95% confidence intervals as measures of familial aggregation.
