They are mainly caused by mutations in the following genes: JAK2, CALR, and MPL. All carry an increased risk to transform into acute leukemia or chronic myelogenous leukemia along with thrombosis and hemorrhagic complications. Treatment of such disorders during pregnancy is a challenging footstep, given the high risk of complications for both the mother and the fetus.
