    Genomic trajectory in leukemogenesis of myeloproliferative neoplasms: a case report
    (BioMed Central, 2021) Chen, Yujie; Talukder, Rafee; Merritt, Brian Y.; King, Katherine Y.; Kimmel, Marek; Rivero, Gustavo; Sosa, Romina
    We report a patient with Essential Thrombocythemia (ET), subsequently diagnosed with concurrent myeloid and lymphoid leukemia. Generally, the molecular mechanisms underlying leukemic transformation of Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph-MPN) are poorly understood. Risk of transformation to acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is low; transformation to both AML and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is extremely low. Genetic defects, including allele burden, order of mutation acquisition, clonal heterogeneity and epigenetic mechanisms are important contributors to disease acceleration.
