Effects of Mutational Combinations on Philadelphia-Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Iran J Med Sci March 2017; Vol 42 No 2 219 Dear Editor, Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) were first described 65 years ago. Yet, the molecular features of the disease have become of interest since 2005 following the identification of the JAK2V617F mutation.1 Between 90% and 98% of patients with polycythemia vera and about 50% of patients with essential thrombocythemia (...

Myeloproliferative neoplasms and thrombosis.

Major causes of morbidity and mortality in myeloproliferative neoplasms are represented by arterial and venous complications, progression to myelofibrosis, and transformation to acute leukemia. The pathogenesis of thrombosis results from a complex interplay of clinical and disease-related factors. Abnormalities of blood cells arising from the clonal proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells inv...

Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues, myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms are clonal myeloid neoplasms that have some clinical, laboratory, or morphologic findings that support a diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome, and other findings that are more consistent with myeloproliferative neoplasms. These disorders ...
