The classic Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph (-) MPNs), have variable potential for progression to the blast phase (MPN-BP) of the disease. Except initiated by distinct driver mutations, MPN-BP frequently carry similar genetic abnormalities defining acute myeloid leukemia myelodysplasia-related (AML-MR). Because of dissimilar initial pathogenesis, MPN-BP and AML-MR are retained under different disease categories. To determine if separately classifying these entities is justified, we compare MPN-BP with AML-MR patients based on mutational landscape and clinical parameters.
