Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) occur sporadically and are due to somatic mutations in the JAK2 (Janus kinase 2), CALR (calreticulin) and MPL (thrombopoietin receptor) genes. However, data from epidemiological and family studies clearly highlight a heritable component that influences the risk of developing MPN and potentially contributes to the observed phenotypic pleiotropy. Genome-wide association studies in MPN familial clusters have identified a number of germline genetic variants associated with an increased risk of developing MPN. The strongest association discovered so far is the presence of the JAK2 46/1 haplotype and, subsequently, several studies have found additional variants in other genes, particularly in the TERT gene.
The aim of the study would be to investigate the presence of germline mutations in MPN patients selected on the basis of a family history of myeloid neoplasms through the analysis of both already recognized genes and other potentially implicated ones.
278 studies on the registry are indexed under Polycythemia Vera; 53 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 496 is above the median of 52 across 204 interventional studies indexed under Polycythemia Vera.

Familiarity for myeloid neoplasia: at least one first or second degree relative affected by myeloid neoplasia (probands) OR presence of matching criteria with a proband (controls). Each center will be able to contribute with its own available patients/relatives, providing the clinical-laboratory data required by the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
