T
he JAK2
V617F
mutated trilinearmyeloproliferative neoplasms
include a broad spectrum of clinical laboratory and bone
marrow features in essential thrombocythemia, prodromal
polycythemia vera and erythrocythemic PV, classical PV
and advanced stages of masked PV and PV complicated by
splenomegaly and secondary myelofibrosis. Heterozygous
JAK2
V617F
mutated ET is associated with low JAK2 allele
and MPN disease burden and normal life expectance. In
combined heterozygous and homozygous or homozygous
JAK2
V617F
mutated trilinear MPN, the JAK2 mutation load
increases from less than 50% in prodromal and early stage
PV to above 50% up to 100% in classical PV, advanced PV and
PV with MF. Bone marrow histology features show various
degrees of diagnostic erythrocytic, megakaryocytic and
granulocytic myeloproliferation in JAK2
V617F
mutated trilinear
MPN clearly differ from monolinear megakaryocyticor dual
megakaryocytic granulocytic myeloproliferation in MPL or
calreticulin mutated thrombocythemia without features
of PV. The morphology of clustered large pleomorphic
megakaryocytes with hyperlobulated nuclei are similar in
JAK2
V67F
thrombocythemia, prodromal PV and classical PV
patients. Monolinear megakaryocytic myeloproliferation of
large to giant megakaryocytes with hyperlobulated staghorn
like nuclei is the hallmark of MPL
515
mutated normocellular
thrombocythemia. CALR mutated thrombocythemia usually
presents with high platelet count around 1000x109/l and
normocellular megakaryocytic proliferation of immature
megakaryocyteswithcloud-likehyperchromaticnuclei followed
by dual megakaryocytic granulocytic myeloproliferation
followed by various degrees of bone marrow fibrosis. Natural
history and life expectancy of MPN patients are related to the
response to treatment and thedegreeof anemia, splenomegaly,
myelofibrosis and constitutional symptoms. The acquisition
of epigenetic mutations at increasing age on top of MPN
disease burden independently predict unfavorable outcome
in JAK2
V617F
, MPL515 and CALR mutated myeloproliferative
neoplasms, which mutually exclude each other.
