Pathogenic "germline" variants associated with myeloproliferative disorders in apparently normal individuals: Inherited or acquired genetic alterations?

Abstract excerpt

Myeloproliferative syndromes (MPS) are hematologic malignancies due to the expansion of an abnormal hematopoietic stem cell. They include chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and non-CML MPS such as polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia and primary myelofibrosis. The latter are distinguished by somatic pathogenic variants affecting JAK2, CALR, or MPL genes. Apparent germline pathogenic variants have been...
