Genetic, epigenetic, and clinical characteristic of genetic JMML subtypes

PTPN11KRASNRASNF1CBL
Prevalence ∼35-40% ∼15% ∼15-20% ∼10-15% ∼10-15% 
Configuration Germline or somatic Germline or somatic Germline or somatic Germline + LOH Germline ± LOH or somatic ± LOH 
Genetic characteristics Frequent co-occurence with secondary mutations including in NF1 Frequent association with monosomy 7 Can co-occur with SETBP1 mutations Two-thirds of cases have LOH via uniparental disomy Secondary mutations in additional genes are exceedingly rare 
Most common DNA methylation subgroup(s) High Intermediate Low Intermediate or high Low 
Germline characteristics Can present with MPD of infancy Can present with MPD of infancy Can present with MPD of infancy Older age at disease onset
Higher platelet count
Fatal without HCT
High probability of treatment-related mortality 
Possibility of spontaneous resolution
Indication for HCT is unclear 
Somatic characteristics Older age at diagnosis
Rapidly fatal without HCT
High incidence of relapse after HCT 
Heterogenous outcomes Typically occurs in infants and toddlers
Heterogenous outcomes 
Somatic-only NF1 mutations are rare but possible Somatic-only CBL mutations can be associated with a more aggressive disease course
