Beyond the JAK2 mutation: The inflammasome, clonal stability, and the thrombotic niche in myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Inflammation and the microenvironment beyond a single genetic mutation explain blood clots in bone marrow disorders, revealing new therapeutic targets.

The thrombotic niche model expands mechanistic understanding of MPN-associated thrombosis beyond JAK2 to include inflammasome and clonal microenvironment factors that could serve as new therapeutic targets. The framework may identify patients at thrombotic risk despite JAK2-negative status.
