Objective:

To seek clarification on specific findings related to triple negative (TN) patients in two large cohorts of essential thrombocythemia (ET) patients, particularly regarding clonal markers.

Key Findings:
  • Inquiry about TN patients without clonal markers and their clinical phenotype, highlighting the need for further investigation.
  • Florence cohort TN patients showed better prognosis compared to Mayo Clinic TN patients, raising questions about the nature of TN ET.
  • Differences in clinical outcomes suggest potential variations in disease characteristics that warrant further exploration.
Interpretation:

The findings suggest potential variations in the clinical course of TN ET patients, indicating a need for further investigation into their disease characteristics and implications for treatment.

Limitations:
  • Lack of detailed data on TN patients without clonal markers limits the ability to draw comprehensive conclusions.
  • Variability in clinical outcomes between cohorts may affect generalizability and understanding of TN ET.
Conclusion:

Further research is needed to understand the implications of clonal markers and prognosis in TN ET patients across different cohorts.
