Abstract
- In our opinion, this casistic of patients with different types of MPNs reflects clinical presentation and evolution of three variants of the same disease. Many clinical findings in our unselected cohort of patients are similar to those reported in literature; in particular, thrombotic events were seen in about 13 – 17% of patients, without any correlation with Jak-2 status in both pre-diagnosis and follow-up. However, 2 main differences were noted: a lower incidence of JAK-2 V617F mutation among our PV patients and a lower rate of evolution in myelofibrosis and AML among our ET and PV patients. Both these features warrant further insights to be fully elucidated.No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
