Myeloproliferative neoplasms, also myeloproliferative disorders, are a group of indolent hematologic neoplasms characterized by clonal expansion of pluripotent hematopoietic progenitor.

These should not be confused with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

Grouping

They include the following:[1]

  • Polycythemia vera.
  • Essential thrombocythemia.
  • Idiopathic myelofibrosis.

Clinic

  • moderate to severe anemia
  • pale skin
  • fatigue
  • prolonged bleeding
  • enlarged spleen
  • increased clotting

Molecular

  • BCR-ABL1 negative (DDx: Leukemia (BCR-ABL1 positive))
  • A specific JAK2 mutation (Val617Phe) in seen in a group of patients.[1][2]
