Our results suggest that mutations in SF3B1 are not a rare event in MPNs, especially in primary myelofibrosis and during late fibrotic stages of essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera, but are not associated with myelodysplastic progression.
Mutations of <i>SF3B1</i> are commonly seen in myelodysplastic syndromes with ring sideroblasts (MDS-RS)and MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN-RS-T).
