Popis: Abstract Prefibrotic primary myelofibrosis (Pre‐PMF) has been classified as a separate entity of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Pre‐PMF is clinically heterogeneous but a specific prognostic model is lacking. Gene mutations have emerged as useful tools for stratification of myelofibrosis patients. However, there have been limited studies comprehensively investigating the mutational spectrum and its clinicopathological significance in pre‐PMF subjects. In this study, we addressed these issues by profiling the mutation status of 141 genes in 172 Chinese MPN patients including 72 pre‐PMF cases. Our findings corroborated the clinical/molecular distinctiveness of pre‐PMF and suggested a refined risk classification strategy for this entity.
