CALR mutation burden in essential thrombocythemia and disease outcome

Blood. 2024 Mar 28;143(13):1310-1314. doi: 10.1182/blood.2023023428.

Abstract

Among 281 patients with essential thrombocythemia and calreticulin (CALR) mutation, we found a variant allele frequency of ≥60% to be associated with significantly shortened myelofibrosis-free survival, mostly apparent with CALR type-1 and CALR type-indeterminate mutations.
