  We analysed the clinical and hematological features in 41 patients of seven families, including 21 ET patients with a proven MPLS505N mutation and 20 relatives with thrombocythemia reported in the medical records. Out of the 41 MPLS505N mutated individuals 15 major thrombotic episodes in 14 members (34%) were reported as Budd-Chiari syndrome age 17 in 1, deep vein thrombosis leg age 41 in 1,ecclampsia and fetal in 1, stroke at ages 43, 72, 76 and 80 in 4 and myocardial infarction at ages between 31-81 years, median 52 years. Fourteen out of 21 well documented MPLS505N mutated ET patients had no splenomegaly and were free of major thrombosis during follow-up at ages between 2 and 76 years (mean 31 years). Eight MPLS505N mutated patients had myelofibrosis (MF) from grade MF1 in 5 to grade MF2 in 3 at ages between 28-80 years (mean 48 years), which was associated with mild to moderate sp.. View More»
