Mutations are a critical piece in understanding how myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) occur, specifically the pathobiology of JAK/STAT activation. Mutations play such an important role, in fact, that they are a key part of the diagnostic classification for these diseases. Furthermore, the mutational landscape of MPNs affects both the prognosis and the biology of disease progression. Current research in the field is focused on understanding how and why these mutations occur, as well as how to attack them to address disease at the time of progression or even before disease progression has occurred.
