“…Another patient (JAK2_0021) reported as showing t(4;12)(q31;q21) had a prior history of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)-refractory anemia with a normal karyotype 6 years before myelofibrosis. 5 Re-assessment by the spectral karyotypic analysis revealed that this anomaly was t(4;12)(q27;q15) (Supplementary Figure 1). In contrast to the results of CIMF, no patients with myelofibrosis developing from PV/ET had 12q15 anomaly.…”

“…12q rearrangements were reported to be the most common translocation-type karyotypic abnormalities in CIMF, but no single specific translocation partner was identified. 7,8) To our knowledge, balanced translocations involving 12q in myelofibrosis have been reported in 17 patients, including the present case (Table 1). It is of note that translocation-type abnormalities in myelofibrosis showed clustering breakpoints on chromosome 12q: 12q21 in 6/17 cases, 12q23 in 2/17 cases, 12q24 in 6/17 cases and 12q12~q13 in 2/17 cases, which suggest that two different "hot-spots" on 12q21 and 12q24 may be related to the etiology of myelofibrosis.…”

“…Balanced translocations in myelofibrosis are very rare events, though several isolated case reports have been published. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Nevertheless, these limited reports suggest that the involvement of chromosome 12 might be of pathogenetic relevance, and this conclusion was recently strengthened by a study that documented structural abnormalities in the long arm of chromosome 12 (12q) in seven of 205 cases of CIMF. 7) Furthermore, chromosome 12 seems to be commonly implicated in structural balanced translocation, whereas deletion and inversion are less common.…”
