Myeloproliferative neoplasms
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]
- In JAK2-negative cases, CALR or MPL-Mutations are often found.[3]
