Most recently, ASXL1, SRSF2, and IDH2 mutations have been associated with inferior overall, leukemia-free or fibrosis-free survival in PV; similarly adverse mutations in ET included SH2B3, SF3B1, U2AF1, TP53, IDH2, and EZH2.
For essential thrombocythemia, reported risk factors for leukemic transformation include advanced age, extreme thrombocytosis, anemia, leukocytosis, and sequence variants/mutations involving TP53 and EZH2 (for expansion of gene symbols, see www.genenames.org); for polycythemia vera, advanced age, leukocytosis, abnormal karyotype, mutations involving SRSF2 and IDH2, and treatment with pipobroman, chlorambucil, or P32; and for PMF, increased blast percentage, thrombocytopenia, abnormal karyotype, triple-negative driver mutational status, and sequence variants/mutations involving SRSF2, RUNX1, CEBPA, and SH2B3.
