Overview
Common risk factors in the development of polycythemia vera are a positive history of thrombotic event and old age ( 65 year old and older).[1]
Risk Factors
Risk factors in the development of polycythemia vera are:[1]
- Old age (65 years older): The reason for age being a risk factor is that mutations can accumulate in hematopoietic stem cells over time, resulting in a higher probability of a JAK2 mutation.
- Family history of polycythemia vera: First-degree relatives of patients with polycythemia vera have a 5 to 7-fold higher risk for development of a myeloproliferative neoplasm. The cumulative risk of developing myelofibrosis is 6% at 10 years, 14% at 15 years, and 26% at 20 years from the initial diagnosis of polycythemia vera.[2]
- Ashkenazi Jewish descent: This population has a slightly higher risk for developing polycythemia vera.
Risk Stratification
High risk features of polycythemia vera include:
- Old age
- History of thrombotic event
- Presence of JAK2 mutation
The risk factors for the development of myelofibrosis from polycythemia vera include[2]:
- Increased age
- Leukocytosis
- High variant allele frequency of the JAK2 mutation (high allele burden)
- Thrombocytosis
- Splenomegaly
The risk factors for the development of acute myeloid leukemia from polycythemia vera include[2]:
- Increased age
- Leukocytosis
- Splenomegaly
- Abnormal karyotype
