Article Title: New pieces of a puzzle: The current biological picture of MPN
Abstract: Over the last years, we have witnessed significant improvement in our ability to elucidate the genetic events, which contribute to the pathogenesis of acute and chronic leukemias, and also in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). However, despite significant insight into the role of specific mutations, including the JAK2V617F mutation, in MPN pathogenesis, the precise mechanisms by which specific disease alleles contribute to leukemic transformation in MPN remain elusive. Here we review recent studies aimed at understanding the role of downstream signaling pathways in MPN initiation and phenotype, and discuss how these studies have begun to lead to novel insights with biologic, clinical, and therapeutic relevance. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
