Overview
Polycythemia vera is a subtype of myeloproliferative neoplasm. Myeloproliferative neoplasm may be classified according to the World Health Organization into eight subtypes: chronic myelogenous leukemia, chronic neutrophilic leukemia, polycythemia vera, primary myelofibrosis, essential thrombocythemia, chronic eosinophilic leukemia, mastocytosis, and myeloproliferative neoplasms, unclassifiable.[1]
Classification
Classification of myeloproliferative neoplasms
Polycythemia vera is a subtype of myeloproliferative neoplasm. Myeloproliferative neoplasm may be classified according to the World Health Organization into eight subtypes:[1][2]
- Polycythemia vera: This is a condition of elevated hemoglobin and red blood cell mass caused by the JAK2 mutation.
- Essential thrombocythemia: This is a condition of elevated platelet count caused by a variety of mutations, such as JAK2, CALR, or MPL. The disease is characterized by increased propensity for thrombotic events.
- Chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1–positive: This condition is a common cause of chronic leukemia. Treatment involves oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, nilotinib, or ponatinib.
- Chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1–negative (atypical CML): This a condition that carries a high risk for transformation into acute myeloid leukemia. Treatment considerations include allogeneic stem cell transplantation.[3]
- Chronic neutrophilic leukemia: This is a condition characterized by elevation of neutrophil count and is commonly caused by a mutation in the colony-stimulating factor 3R (CSF3R) gene.
- Primary myelofibrosis: This is a highly lethal condition in which the bone marrow is replaced by reticulin fibrosis, resulting in ineffective erythropoiesis.
- Chronic eosinophilic leukemia, not otherwise specified: This condition is characterized by elevation of the eosinophil count. Common etiologies include the FIP1L1-PDGFRalpha rearrangement in chromosome 4, which in turn is due to deletion of the intervening CHIC2 locus.
- Mastocytosis: This condition is caused by mast cell proliferation and results in symptoms of coughing, wheezing, gastrointestinal upset, anaphylaxis, and diarrhea. Patients typically have high levels of histamine (a peptide released by mast cells). Treatment usually involves imatinib or midostaurin.
- Myeloproliferative neoplasms, unclassifiable
There are no subcategories within polycythemia vera.
Classification of polycythemia
Polycythemia vera is a subcategory of polycythemia in general. Classification of polycythemia in general includes primary polycythemia and secondary polycythemia. Secondary polycythemia is due to chronic hypoxia which results in compensatory increase in erythrocyte production. Secondary polycythemia is therefore characterized by a reactive increase in erythrocyte production, rather than clonal proliferation of erythrocytes.
- Primary polycythemia (polycythemia vera)
- Secondary polycythemia
- Congestive heart failure
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Interstitial lung disease
- Smoking
- Obstructive sleep apnea
- High altitude residence
- Erythropoietin-secreting tumors
- Renal cell carcinoma
- Hepatocellular carcinoma
