Incidence of Silent Thrombosis in Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Patients below 60 Years : Single Center Egyptian Study

Identification of JAK-2 mutation even in absence of myeloproliferative disorders (MPNs) was found to be related to venous thromboembolism occurrence. Venous thrombosis screening is not routinely requested in patient with myeloproliferative neoplasm unless the patient is symptomatic and it is stated that the incidence of thrombosis in elderly is much higher than young. The aim of this work was to screen MPN patients for venous thrombosis and study its correlation with both Jak 2 allele burden and with MPN10 score.
