Figure 1.
The BRAFV600Emutation is detectable in mature and immature hematopoietic cells from patients with histiocytosis. (A) Percentage of patients for whom BRAFV600E mutation was detected in mature PB cells. (B) BRAFV600E mutant allele frequency in fluorescence-activated cell sorting–purified cells from the BM or PB of 5 histiocytosis patients. ND indicates populations not studied. Patient numbering per supplemental Table 1. (C) Percentage of patients for whom the BRAFV600E mutation was detected in CD34+ BM cells or in CD34-derived CFU-M, CFU-G, BFU-E, and plasmacytoid DCs (pDC) or mDCs. (D) BRAFV600E, TET2L1819X, and SRSF2L95P status of 20 colonies derived from single CD34+ BM cells of a patient with BRAFV600E-mutant MH (#P10). The results suggest that histiocytosis and AMML cells of this patient derived from a common TET2-mutated HSPC. In panels A and C, each denominator indicates the total number of patients for whom results were obtained.
