Dysplastic Platelets and Circulating Megakaryocytes in Chronic Myeloproliferative Diseases

Small circulating megakaryocytes were nuclear. The circulating megakaryocytes identified in four patients with chronic were associated with the presence of myeloproliferative disorders, and their dysplastic platelets. Both findings are morphologic features by light and electron thought to represent involvement of the microscopy are described. The morphomegakaryocytic-platelet line, probably as ...

Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders

JAK2, an acquired mutation of JAK2, is present in a majority of patients with polycythemia vera and to a lesser extent among patients with the other myeloproliferative disorders. We analyzed the effect of JAK2 on the expression of polycythemia rubra vera 1(PRV-1), using an in vitro model. Compared to wild-type JAK2, the presence of JAK2 increased both PRV-1 protein and mRNA levels in murine mye...

Chronic myeloproliferative disorders.

The Philadelphia chromosome-negative chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMPD), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF), have overlapping clinical features but exhibit different natural histories and different therapeutic requirements. Phenotypic mimicry amongst these disorders and between them and nonclonal hematopoietic disorders, la...
