Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients with Primary and Secondary Myelofibrosis According to the Genomic Classification Using Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Myelofibrosis (MF) is a heterogeneous disease regarding its mutational landscape, clinical presentation, and outcomes. The aim of our work is to evaluate the genomic classification of MF considering whether it is primary or secondary. One-hundred seventy-five patients, 81 with primary MF (PMF) and 94 with secondary MF (SMF) were hierarchically allocated into eight molecular groups. We found that TP53 disruption/aneuploidy (n = 16, 9%) was more frequent (12% versus 6%) and showed higher allele burden (57% versus 15%, p = 0.01) in SMF than in PMF, and was associated with shorter survival (median 3.5 years). Mutations in chromatin/spliceosome genes (n = 72, 41%) represented the most frequent genomic group in PMF. Homozygous JAK2 mutation (n = 40, 23%)
