The categories of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) have not significantly changed since the 2008 fourth edition of the classification; however, newly discovered mutations including CALR and CSF3R and improved characterizations and standardizations of morphological features of some entities, particularly BCR-ABL1-negative MPNs, have impacted the diagnostic criteria of disease entities, increasing the reliability and reproducibility of diagnoses. The 2017 revised edition attempts to incorporate new clinical, prognostic, morphologic, and genetic data that have emerged since the last edition. This article reviews the major changes in the classification and their rationale for MPN classification within the revised 2017 WHO system.

- The Korean Journal of Medicine: Vol. 93, No. 4, 2018 - 상이없고 (insidious onset) 조혈기능증가로인하여말초혈액혈구와골수세포충실도의증가를보이지만, 단계적으로진행하여질환말기에는골수섬유화, 비효과조혈 (ineffective hematopoiesis) 또는급성모세포기 (acute blast phase) 로진행하여골수부전 (marrow failure) 에이르게된다 [1]. 골수증식종양의진단을위해서세계보건기구 (World Health Organization, WHO) 에서발간하는조혈모세포의악성질환과림프구질환에관한진단기준을주로이용하고있으며, 2008년 WHO 4판이후 9년만인 2017년새개정판이발표되었다 [1]. 2017년 WHO 진단기준은이전 4판의분류체계에서크게벗어나지않으면서 2008년이후새롭게밝혀진임상데이터및골수검체의형태학적소견그리고분자진단표지자등이기존내용에추가되었기때문에개정 4판 (revised fourth edition) 버전으로출간되었다. 새롭게포함된주요변화내용을요약하면다음과같다. 만성골수백혈병의 BCR-ABL1 융합유전자와진성적혈구증가증의 JAK2 유전자, 일차골수섬유증과본태혈소판증가증의 MPL 유전자외에최근 CALR 및 CSF3R 유전자등의새로운분자진단표지자가골수증식종양의진단뿐아니라질환의병태생리를이해하고예후를추정하는데유용한것으로검증되어진단기준에새롭게포함되었다 [2,3]. 통상 필라델피아염색체음성 인전형적인골수증식종양 (philadelphia chromosome-negative classical MPN) 으로불리는세질환 ( 진성적혈구증가증, 본태혈소판증가증, 일차골수섬유증 ) 은최근질환별로골수조직의형태학적소견기준이정립이되었는데이를진단시활용하면질환감별뿐아니라반응성골수세포증가를동반할수있는양성질환을배제하는데유용하여 2017년 WHO 개정진단기준에서는주진단기준 (major criteria) 으로포함되어그중요성이강조되었다 [4-8]. WHO 진단기준의기본원칙은질환을분류할때형태학적 (morphologic) 소견뿐아니라혈액학적 (hematologic), 세포유전학 (cytogenetic), 분자유전학 (molecular genetic) 소견등수집가능한모든데이터를통합 (integrated) 하여진단에이용하는것이다. 골수증식종양을대상으로임상적- 병리학적 (clinicopathological) 특성을분석한최근연구결과들에서도이러한통합적인접근방식이진단의정확성과환자의예후예측가능성을높이는것으로검증되어 2008년이후새롭게밝혀진여러정보가이번개정진단기준에도반영이되어있다 [6-12]. 마지막으로, 2008년 WHO 진단기준에서골수증식종양의세부질환으로포함되어있던비만세포증 (mastocytosis) 은 2017년새로운진단기준부터는고유의임상및병리소견을가지는독립적인질환범주로분리되었다 [1]. 최근건강보험심사평가원의자료를이용하여골수증식종양의국내역학조사를시행한연구결과에따르면각질환의발생률은본태성혈소판증가증, 진성적혈구증가증, 일차골수섬유증순서로인구 10만명당각각평균 2.426명, 1.162명, 0.425명으로보고되었다 [13]. 국내골수증식종양의유병률은지난 10년간약 3.8배증가하였고 [13,14] 유전자변이를표적으로한약제가개발되는등골수증식종양에대한관심또한높아지고있으므로이에본종설에서는 2017년 WHO 개정 4판의진단기준의주요변경사항에대하여질환별로소개하고자한다. 질환별 WHO 개정 4판진단기준소개 BCR-ABL1 양성만성골수백혈병 (chronic myeloid leukemia) 만성골수백혈병은골수세포중특히과립구계세포의증식을특징으로하는조혈모세포혈액질환으로특징적인말초혈액소견 ( 여러성숙단계의백혈구증가, 호염기구와호산구증가, 혈소판은정상이거나혹은증가 ) 을보이면서염색체또는분자진단검사를이용하여 t(9;22)(q34.1;q11.2) 또는 BCR-ABL1 융합유전자를확인하는경우진단이가능하다 [1]. 치료하지않으면처음에는증상이없는만성기 (chronic phase) 에이어서가속기 (accelerated phase), 모세포기 (blast phase) 로진행이되지만, 표적항암제인티로신키나아제억제제 (tyrosine-kinase inhibitor) 가도입되면서가속기또는모세포기로진행하는환자의비율이과거에비하여낮아졌다 [1]. 2017년 WHO 개정 4판에서는만성골수백혈병의가속기진단을위하여이전에통용되어오던여러임상적, 검사실적소견들을정리하여표 1과같이보편화된진단기준으로정립하였다. 다음의여덟가지혈액학적또는세포유전학적기준들, 곧 1) 치료에반응하지않는백혈구수증가 (> 10 10 9 /L), 2) 치료에반응하지않는비장비대 (splenomegaly) 악화, 3) 치료에반응하지않는지속적인혈소판수증가 (> 1,000 10 9 /L), 4) 치료에반응하지않는지속적인혈소판수감소 (< 100 10 9 /L), 5) 호염기구가말초혈액백혈구의 20% 이상, 6) 모세포가말초혈액백혈구또는골수유핵세포의 10-19% 로증가, 7) 진단시필라델피아염색체이외에추가적인클론성염색체이상 (secondary Philadelphia chromosome, trisomy 8, isochromosome 17q, trisomy 19 또는 complex karyotype 또는 3q26.2 부위이상 ) 이발견되는경우, 8) 치료중어떠한클론성염색체이상이라도새롭게발생하는경우중에서하나이상해당되는 - 352 -

Defining criteria for the accelerated phase (AP) of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) CML-AP is defined by the presence of 1 of the following hematological/cytogenetic criteria or provisional criteria concerning response to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy - Hematological/cytogenetic criteria a - Persistent or increasing high white blood cell count (> 10 10 9 /L), unresponsive to therapy - Persistent or increasing splenomegaly, unresponsive to therapy - Persistent thrombocytosis (> 1,000 10 9 /L), unresponsive to therapy - Persistent thrombocytopenia (< 100 10 9 /L), unrelated to therapy - 20% basophils in peripheral blood - 10-19% blasts in peripheral blood and/or bone marrow - Additional clonal chromosomal abnormalities in Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome-positive (Ph+) cells at diagnosis, including so-called major route abnormalities (a second Ph chromosome, trisomy 8, isochromosome 17q, trisomy 19), complex karyotype, and abnormalities of 3q26.2 - Occurrence of new clonal chromosomal abnormalities in Ph+ cells during therapy Provisional response-to-tki criteria - Hematological resistance (or failure to achieve complete hematological response b ) to the first TKI - Any hematological, cytogenetic, or molecular indications of resistance to two sequential TKIs - Occurrence of two or more mutations in the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene during TKI therapy a Large clusters of sheets of small, abnormal megakaryocytes associated with marked reticulin or collagen fibrosis in biopsy specimens may be considered presumptive evidence of AP, although these findings are usually associated with one or more of the criteria listed above. b Complete hematological response is defined as white blood cell count < 10 10 9 /L, platelet count < 450 10 9 /L, no immature granulocytes in the differential, and spleen not palpable. - 353 -

CSF3R 유전자변이와함께 SETBP1 또는 ASXL1 유전자변이가동시에검출이되는경우가있는데 [18,21-23], 특히 ASXL1 유전자변이와동반되는경우예후가좋지않은것으로알려져있다 [24]. 진성적혈구증가증 (polycythemia vera) 정상적인적혈구생성조절기전과는무관하게적혈구생성이증가되는특징을갖는골수증식종양으로거의모든환자에서 JAK2 V617F 돌연변이 (> 95%) 또는이와기능적으로유사한 JAK2 엑손 12번돌연변이 (< 5%) 가발견되며, 적혈구계뿐만아니라과립구계, 거대핵세포계도함께증식하는범혈구증가증 (panmyelosis) 이특징적이다 [1]. 2017년 WHO 개정 4판에따른진성적혈구증가증의진단기준은표 3에제시된바와같다. 2008년진단기준과비교하여주요차이점으로는 1) 혈색소진단기준이낮아지고 ( 남자의경우 18.5 g/dl에서 16.5 g/dl, 여자의경우 16.5 g/dl에서 16.0 g/dl로변경 ), 적혈구용적률 (hematocrit) 기준이추가되었으며 ( 남자의경우 Table 2. 2017 WHO revised fourth edition diagnostic criteria for chronic neutrophilic leukemia 1. - Peripheral blood white blood cell count 25 10 9 /L - Segmented neutrophils plus banded neutrophils constitute 80% of white blood cells - Neutrophil precursors (promyelocytes, myelocytes, and metamyelocytes) constitute < 10% of white blood cells - Myeloblasts rarely observed - Monocyte count < 1 10 9 /L - No dysgranulopoiesis 2. - Hypercellular bone marrow - Neutrophil granulocytes increased in percentage and number - Neutrophil maturation appears normal - Myeloblasts constitute < 5% of nucleated cells 3.

WHO revised fourth edition for MPNs - Table 6. 2017 WHO revised fourth edition diagnostic criteria for essential thrombocythemia The diagnosis of essential thrombocythemia requires that either all major criteria or the first three major criteria plus the minor criterion are met. Major criteria Platelet count 450 10 9 /L Bone marrow biopsy showing proliferation mainly of the megakaryocytic lineage, with increased numbers of enlarged, mature megakaryocytes with hyperlobulated nuclei; no significant increase or left shift in neutrophil granulopoiesis or erythropoiesis; very rarely a minor (grade 1) increase in reticulin fibers WHO criteria for CML, PV, PMF, or other myeloid neoplasms are not met JAK2, CALR, or MPL mutation Minor criteria Presence of a clonal marker OR Absence of evidence of reactive thrombocytosis WHO, World Health Organization; CML, chronic myeloid leukemia; PV, polycythemia vera; PMF, primary myelofibrosis. 능성이높고생존율이낮으며진단에따른치료전략이달라감별진단이중요하기때문에 [32,33], 골수검사를시행하여형태학적특징비교를통한감별진단을하는것이매우중요하다 (Table 5) [1,29]. 일차골수섬유증초기섬유증전단계는본태혈소판증가증에비하여세포충실도가높고, 주로증식된세포는호중구와비정형거대핵세포이다. 비정형거대핵세포는초기섬유증전단계에서도뚜렷하게관찰되어본태혈소판증가증과중요한감별기준이되며, 심한비정상형태를취하며골수혈관동과뼈잔기둥주위에집단적으로분포하고 grade 0-1정도의섬유화를나타낸다 (Table 4). 이에비하여, 본태혈소판증가증은특징적인과분엽화된핵과풍부한세포질을가진모양의거대핵세포가증가하고호중구및적혈구생성증가나좌방이동 (left shift) 이없다. JAK2 V617F 변이는일차골수섬유증환자의 50-60% 에서나타나고, 기능적으로유사한 CALR 유전자변이가 30%, MPL 유전자변이가 8% 에서검출된다 [2,34]. JAK2, CALR, MPL 세유전자변이가모두발견되지않는경우 (triple-negative 또는 JAK2/CALR/MPL-wild-type) 는전체환자의약 12% 에서확인되는데그렇지않은환자에비하여예후가좋지않은것으로알려져있다 [2,35]. 본태혈소판증가증 (essential thrombocythemia) 일차적으로거대핵세포계가증식하는골수증식종양으로말초혈액에서지속적인 450 10 9 /L 이상의혈소판증가증과함께골수에서크고성숙한거대핵세포의증가소견이관찰된다. 본태혈소판증가증환자들은대부분긴무증상기를보이나일부에서는혈전증이나출혈경향을나타낼수있다 [1]. 말초혈액에증가된혈소판은크기가다양하고, 드물게위 족 (pseudopod) 또는무과립혈소판과같은이상한형태로관찰될수있다. 골수조직검사에서세포충실도는정상또는중등도로증가되어있고, 특징적인형태학적소견으로크기가크고세포질의양이풍부하며핵은깊게패이고과분엽화되어마치사슴뿔모양처럼보이는성숙한거대핵세포가증식된소견이관찰된다 [1]. 분자유전학적이상으로 JAK2 V617F 돌연변이가환자의 50-60% 에서검출되며, 기능적으로유사한 CALR 유전자변이가 30%, MPL 유전자돌연변이가 3% 에서검출된다 [2,34]. 본태혈소판증가증의 2017년 WHO 개정진단기준은표 6에제시된바와같다. 결론골수증식종양의 2017년 WHO 개정진단기준은가장잘알려진분자유전학적이상인 BCR-ABL1 융합유전자, JAK2 V617F 돌연변이이외에도 MPL 유전자, CALR 유전자, CSF3R 유전자돌연변이등의새로운분자진단지표를포함함으로써질환의병태생리를이해하고진단의정확성을높이는데기여하였다. 이와더불어질환별로골수조직의형태학적소견을정립하고표준화함으로써임상적또는혈액학적소견이서로유사한질환들을감별하고판독자사이에진단일치율도높일수있게되었다. 골수생검은침습적인검사이기때문에과거에는주로임상양상을통한감별진단과혈액학적소견등의비특이적인방법으로골수증식종양을진단하는경우가많았다. 그러나 2017년 WHO 개정진단기준에따라임상적, 혈액학적, 유전학적소견등다양한정보를통합하여진단에이용하고골수검사를시행하여정밀한 - 357 -
