About this study
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.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
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.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing NGS testing and NGS analysis for mutations in genes involved in familial predisposition to hematological malignancies in people with Polycythemia Vera and Essential Thrombocythaemia, run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Patrizia chiusolo, MD (393355267999, patrizia.chiusolo@unicatt.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Comparison between clinical characteristis in patients with and without family history: (time frame: 30 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 May 2025.
