This document provides information on myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), a group of bone marrow disorders characterized by the overproduction of blood cells. It describes the main MPNs - polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). PV causes excessive red blood cell production. ET results in unusually high platelet counts. PMF involves the replacement of healthy bone marrow with scar tissue. The document outlines diagnostic criteria and clinical features of each condition, caused by mutations that stimulate the abnormal proliferation of stem/progenitor cells. Transitional cases between MPNs can also occur, or transformation to acute leukemia.
