Cytogenetic studies were done in 18 patients with myelofibrosis or the closely related syndrome, undifferentiated myeloproliferative disorder (MPD). Clones of cells with chromosome abnormalities were demonstrated in the blood of 8 individuals, including 2 with a history of radiation therapy and 2 with acute myelofibrosis. Trisomy 8 was present in the latter 2 patients, but otherwise, there was no consistent cytogenetic pattern or correlation with specific hematologic findings. Sixteen of these patients were followed for more than 1 yr or until death; none has progressed to leukemia. The results indicate that chromosome abnormalities are relatively common in this disorder, but as with polycythemia vera, and unlike some other preleukemic states, the aberrant clones in myelofibrosis do not appear to indicate that clinical leukemia is imminent.
