Myeloproliferative disorders (MPD)

''Myeloproliferative disorders(MPD) are relatively rare chronic hematologic malignancies that include the classic myeloproliferative disorders:

Philadelphia chromosome-negative                Philadelphia chromosome-positive
   Essential Thrombocythemia (ET)                     Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)
   Myelofibrosis (MF)
   Polycythemia Vera (PV)

There are atypical myeloproliferative disorders which include molecularly defined PDGFRA-rearranged eosinophilic/mast cell disorders; PDGFRB-rearranged eosinophilic disorders; systemic mastocytosis associated with c-kit mutation; 8p11 Myeloproliferative syndrome; and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia with recurrent mutations of RAS. MPD also includes the clinicopathologically assigned variants: chronic neutrophilic leukemia; chronic eosinophilic leukemia; hypereosinophillic syndrome, chronic basophilic leukemia, chronic monomyelomonocytic leukemia, systemic mastocytosis; and unclassified myeloproliferative disorder. Chronic myeloid disorders also include myelodysplastic syndrome.''
