Evaluation of New Biomarkers of Thrombosis in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Thrombosis is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). However, the pathogenesis of thrombosis in MPN is still largely elusive. Neutrophils can release their decondensed chromatin as a network of extracellular fibers named NET for "neutrophils extracellular trap". NETs are known to be procoagulant. Our main objective is to quantify NETs biomarkers expression in MPN patients and define if they could be used as prognostic factors in the outcome of thrombosis in these patients.
