Hematol Oncol Clin North Am. 2021 Apr;35(2):253-265. doi: 10.1016/j.hoc.2020.11.007. Epub 2020 Dec 30.

Abstract

Myeloproliferative neoplasms, such as polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis, are bone marrow disorders that result in the overproduction of mature clonal myeloid elements. Identification of recurrent genetic mutations has been described and aid in diagnosis and prognostic determination. Mouse models of these mutations have confirmed the biologic significance of these mutations in myeloproliferative neoplasm disease biology and provided greater insights on the pathways that are dysregulated with each mutation. The models are useful tools that have led to preclinical testing and provided data as validation for future myeloproliferative neoplasm clinical trials.
