Cytogenetic Clonal Evolution in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: Contexts and Prognostic Impact Among 648 Patients with Serial Bone Marrow Biopsies

Karyotype is diagnostically and prognostically essential in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN); cytogenetic abnormalities occur in approximately a third of patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and 520% of those with essential thrombocythemia (ET) or polycythemia vera (PV). “Abnormal” karyotype in PV and “unfavorable” or “very high risk (VHR)” karyotype in
PMF have been associated with inferior survival.
