Relative impact of THPO mutation causing hereditary thrombocythemia
Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm that is characterized by sustained proliferation of megakaryocytes and thrombocytosis. An elevated platelet count results in thrombotic or hemorrhagic episodes. ET occasionally causes leukemic transformation or myelofibrosis. Somatic mutations of JAK2, MPL, and CALR are frequently observed in cases of ET. Hereditary thrombocythemia (HT) is an autosomal-dominant disorder and its clinical features resemble those of sporadic ET. (Source: Experimental Hematology)
