Mutations of JAK2 and MPL genes in MPN and MPN-like diseases were screened in PubMed publications and the Catalogue Of Somatic Mutations In Cancer (COSMIC) database. Only mutations with a functional impact on Janus kinase–signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling and/or cell proliferation were retained. Functional effect was classified as being minimal to strong, as follows: minimal if only a constitutive STAT signaling was found; weak if a hypersensitivity to cytokine was found in transfected cell lines; intermediate if the mutation induced cytokine-independent growth; and strong if a mouse model had an MPN-like phenotype. MPL mutations inducing a reduction of the cell surface expression of thrombopoeitin receptor MPL lead to an increased level of plasmatic thrombopoietin (TPO) that stimulates megakaryopoiesis. The allele frequencies in the general population were extracted from the gnomAD v2.1 database. EC, extracellular; ET, essential thrombocythemia; FERM, protein 4.1R/ezrin/radixin/moesin; germ, germline; HE, hereditary erythropoiesis; hom, homozygous; HT, hereditary thrombocytosis; IC, intracellular; NT, not tested; PMF, primary myelofibrosis; PV, polycythemia vera; som, somatic; TM, transmembrane.
