Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are chronic disorders of myeloid lineages. The three classical MPN are polycythaemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythaemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). MPN are clonal disorders due to the acquisition of driver mutations, JAK2, calreticulin (CALR) and MPL, that affect proliferation signalling pathways. Proportion and repartition are different between MPN, but JAK2V617F is the most frequent mutation. These neoplasms expose patients to high risk of complications such as thrombosis, haemorrhage and phenotypical evolution [secondary myelofibrosis (MF), accelerated phase (AcPh) or acute myeloid leukaemia (AML)]. The risk of evolution depends on the MPN subtype
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
