JAK2V617Fmutation in leukaemic transformation of philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative disorders

Single chromosomal abnormalities in Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative disorders.

BACKGROUND In Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMPD), increased proliferation with effective maturation of the myeloid lineage is present, while peripheral leukocytosis, thrombocytosis or elevated red blood cell mass are found. This group of disorders includes polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF). Furthermore, cases...

Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms

Chronic myeloproliferative diseases without the Philadelphia chromosome marker (Ph-), although first described 60 years ago, only became the subject of interest after the turn of the millennium. In 2001, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined the classification of this group of diseases and in 2008 they were renamed myeloproliferative neoplasms based on morphological, cytogenetic and molec...

Low Frequency of C-MPL Gene Mutations in Iranian Patients with Philadelphia-Negative Myeloproliferative Disorders

Background Myeloproliferative disorders are a group of diseases characterized by increased proliferation of myeloid lineage. In addition to JAK2V617F mutation, several mutations in the c-MPL gene were described in patients with Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative disorders that could be important in the pathogenesis of diseases. The aim of present study was to investigate the fre...

Philadelphia chromosome-negative chronic myeloproliferative disease.

Session 2 of the 2007 Workshop of the Society for Hematopathology/European Association for Haematopathology was focused on Philadelphia chromosome-negative chronic myeloproliferative diseases (Ph- MPDs), recently termed chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms. The presented and submitted cases highlighted some important issues and also impending problems associated with the diagnosis and classific...
