Role of DNA Damage Response in Suppressing Malignant Progression of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia and Polycythemia Vera: Impact of Different Oncogenes.

Inflammatory and oncogenic signaling, both known to challenge genome stability, are key drivers of -positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and V617F-positive chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Despite similarities in chronic inflammation and oncogene signaling, major differences in disease course exist. Although BCR-ABL has robust transformation potential, V617F-positive polycythemia vera (PV) is characterized by a long and stable latent phase.
