New Markers of Disease Progression in Myelofibrosis

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm due to the clonal proliferation of a hematopoietic stem cell. The vast majority of patients harbor a somatic gain of function mutation either of <i>JAK2</i> or <i>MPL</i> or <i>CALR</i> genes in their he...
