The mutational landscape of accelerated- and blast-phase myeloproliferative neoplasms impacts patient outcomes.

ABSTRACT: There is a paucity of data regarding the impact of mutations on outcomes in accelerated-phase (AP) and blast-phase (BP) myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Moreover, it is unknown whether mutational status affects survival, as seen in chronic-phase MPNs. Therefore, we performed a retrospective analysis of all patients treated at our institution with AP/BP MPNs (N = 122; AP = 14; BP = 108) to comprehensively describe the mutational profile and correlate with clinical outcomes. Targeted sequencing with a 54-gene panel was performed. Forty-four patients were treated with intensive therapy, 27 with nonintensive therapy, and 51 with best supportive care (BSC). The most common mutation was JAK2V617F, occurring in 55% of subjects; CALR was found in 13% of patients and MPL in
