BackgroundJAK2 variants are a hallmark of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia. These disorders are often associated with thrombotic and inflammatory complications. From a movement disorder perspective, chorea is a rare but well-recognized neurological occurrence in this context, whereas parkinsonism has received limited attention.ObjectivesTo describe parkinsonian phenotypes in patients with JAK2-mutated MPNs and explore possible pathophysiological links.MethodsWe identified five patients with a JAK2-mutated MPNs and parkinsonism and reviewed their demographic and clinical features, neuroimaging, and levodopa response.ResultsParkinsonian phenotypes were heterogeneous, including Parkinson's disease (n = 2), atypical parkinsonism (n = 1), motor neuron disease with parkinsonism (n = 1), and chorea followed by parkinsonism (n = 1). The latter patient developed parkinsonism approximately 22 months after onset of generalized chorea. When available (n = 2), DaTscan was abnormal. Levodopa responsiveness was variable.ConclusionAlthough JAK2-mutated MPNs and parkinsonism may coexist coincidentally, recent evidence suggests plausible pathophysiological links, including vascular, inflammatory, immune-mediated, and treatment-related mechanisms.
