Molecular Progression of Myeloproliferative and Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: A Study on Sequential Bone Marrow Biopsies

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) both harbor the potential to undergo myelodysplastic progression or acceleration and can transform into blast-phase MPN or MDS/MPN, a form of secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although the initiating...

description Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) both harbor the potential to undergo myelodysplastic progression or acceleration and can transform into blast-phase MPN or MDS/MPN, a form of secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

In this study we molecularly analyzed paired bone marrow samples of MPN and MDS/MPN patients with known progression and compared them to a control cohort of patients with stable disease course.
