The Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Landscape: A Patient’s Eye View

Increased risk of lymphoid neoplasm in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm: a study of 1,915 patients.

Within a cohort of 1,915 consecutive patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm followed for a median time of 5.2 years (range 0-33.3), we investigated the occurrence of lymphoid neoplasm with the aim of defining this risk and to investigate the role of genetic predisposing factors. We identified 22 patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm who developed lymphoid neoplasm over their lifetime. We...

Pathogenetic mechanisms of thrombosis in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm

In the diagnostic criteria of these neoplasms, besides haematological tests and osteomedular biopsy an important role is played by the JAK2V617F, CALR and Mpl mutational status testing.1 Numerous researches involved the presence of JAK mutation in increasing the risk of thrombosis; in this way, along with advanced age and history of thrombosis in the classification criteria in “high risk” forms...

Hypothetical Atopic Dermatitis-Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Syndrome

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are hematopoietic malignancies caused by uncontrolled proliferation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Recent studies have described several mutant mice exhibiting both AD-like skin inflammation and MPN. Common pathways for skin inflammation encompass overexpression of thymic stromal lymphopo...

Prevalence of MPL (W515K/L) Mutations in Patients with Negative-JAK2 (V617F) Myeloproliferative Neoplasm in North-East of Iran

Background and Objective: Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and Myeloproliferative Leukemia (MPL) mutations are confirmatory indicators for Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN). The current study was performed to determine the frequency of MPL mutation in MPN patients without JAK2 mutation, in order to assign MPL mutation frequency in North-East of Iran.Methods: Total o...
