Impact of Molecular Biology in Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Therapeutic Management of BCR::ABL1 -Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasm.

BCR::ABL1 -negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) include three major subgroups-polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF)-which are characterized by aberrant hematopoietic proliferation with an increased risk of leukemic transformation. Besides the driver mutations, which are JAK2, CALR, and MPL , more than twenty additional mutations have been identified through the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS), which can be involved with pathways that regulate epigenetic modifications, RNA splicing, or DNA repair. The aim of this short review is to highlight the impact of molecular biology on the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic management of patients with PV, ET, and PMF.
