  • Title: BCR-ABL negative myeloproliferative neoplasia: a review of involved molecular mechanisms.
    Author: Koopmans SM, Schouten HC, van Marion AM.
    Journal: Histol Histopathol; 2015 Feb; 30(2):151-61. PubMed ID: 25196073.
    Abstract:
    The clonal bone marrow stem cell disorders essential thrombocythemia (ET), polycythemia vera (PV) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) belong to the group of Philadelphia chromosome negative myeloproliferative neoplasia (Ph- MPN). In 2005 the JAK2(V617F) mutation was discovered which has generated more insight in the pathogenetic mechanism of the MPNs. More mutations have been detected in MPN patients since. However, the underlying cause of MPN has not been discovered so far. The mechanism of increased angiogenesis in MPNs and the development of fibrosis in the bone marrow in PMF patients and in some ET and PV patients is still not known. This review will focus on the most important molecular pathogenetic mechanisms in MPN patients.
