1
Q

Chemotherapeutic agent that induces DNA mutations that can be related to development of hematopioetic neoplasms

A

Alkylating agents

also Topoisomerase Inhibitors (much faster rate of development after chemo)

2
Q

Type of receptor that underlies genetic disorders of myeloproliferative neoplasms?

A

Tyrosine Kinase

3
Q

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors treat Chronic Myeloid Leukemias however patients whose CML have developed a mutation within the ________ will not respond to the TKIs though 2nd and 3rd generation TKIs overcome these mutations?

A

in the ATP binding pocket that prevents drug from binding and also

4
Q

Accelerated phase of CML can result in blast crisis which is a sudden and catastrophic ability to mature. The 2 types of Blast crisis is

A

70% Acute Myeloid Leukemia

30% is Acute Lymphoid Leukemia

This indicates that CML comes from pluripotential stem cell

5
Q

Point mutation in pseudokinase domain of ______ involved in Polycythemia Vera

A

JAK2

6
Q

JAK2 inhibitor that is pretty toxic

A

Ruxonitib

7
Q

Presentation for early stages of Polycythemia Vera

A

Increased RBC mass: plethora, headache, dizziness, angina, visual disturbances, intermitted claudication (pain in walking)

normochromic, normocytic RBCs until later in the disease

low or normal serum EPO

8
Q

What lab value would help to distinguish Polycythemia vera from a reactive polycythemia?

A

low or normal serum EPO or JAK2 mutation

9
Q

Treatment of Polycythemia

Vera

A

Phlebotomy

10
Q

Thrombopoietin receptor mutated in Essential Thrombocytosis or Primary Myeloproliferative disorder

A

JAK2

Calreticulin

11
Q

Tear drop shaped RBCs

A

RBCs that have passed through areas of fibrosis in the bone marrow

12
Q

Extramedullary hematopoeisis leading to _________ from Primary Myelofibrosis

A

Splenomegaly

13
Q

How do you distinguish between reactive thrombocytosis or essential thrombocytosis (neoplastic)

A

Find a clonal abnormality to dx essential thrombocytosis

14
Q

Mastocytosis mutation

A

c-Kit

15
Q

Localized cutaneous manifestation of Mastocytosis?

A

Urticaria Pigmentosa

16
Q

which myeloproliferative neoplasm has erythroid hyperplasia

A

polycythemia vera

17
Q

which myeloproliferative neoplasm has Jak2 mutation?

A

Polycythemia vera
Primary myelofibrosis
Essential Thrombocytosis

18
Q

which myeloproliferative neoplasm has BCR/ABL fusion

A

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

19
Q

c-Kit mutation

A

Mastocytosis

20
Q

Markedly increased platelets

A

Essential thrombocytosis

21
Q

Key morphology of acute leukemia

A

more than 20% myeloid cells in the bone marrow

22
Q

Drug association with Acute myeloid leukemia

A

Alkylating agents (very long lag time)

Topoisomerase inhibitors (short lag time)

23
Q

Trisomy assoc with Acute Myeloid Leukemia

A

Trisomy 21

24
Q

Acute Myeloid Leukemia is not one disease because it is the conglomeration of a bunch of genetic aberrations. It presents with

A

Anemia
Thrombocytopenia
Hepatosplenomegaly

25

Flow cytometry used in AML pathology for

A

blast cell identification also cell surface markers

26

t 8;21

27
Q

Acute myeloid leukemia
t(15;17) disrupts retinoic acid receptor (RAR-alpha) gene

frequent association with _____ (histologically)

A

Auer Rods

28
Q

Treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia

A

Trans retinoic acid to overcome the disrupted retinoic acid receptor very first (DO THIS WHILE WAITING ON CONFIRMATION)

29
Q

Diagnosis of AML genetics

A

PCR (takes a while because of long prep)
