Vallapureddy et al reported a predictive model for leukemic transformation in a patient with primary myelofibrosis. The authors are from the Mayo Clinic.
Patent selection: primary myelofibrosis
Outcome: leukemia-free survival
Parameters:
(1) age in years
(2) sex-adjusted anemia
(3) circulating blasts in percent
(4) IDH1 mutations
(5) SRSF2 mutations
(6) ASXL1 mutations
