Abstract:

Chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) is a rare myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by a proliferation mainly of mature neutrophils. The previous diagnostic criteria were not specific, the treatment was not effective and prognosis was poor. Recently, mutations in genes CSF3R and SETBP1 were identified which is expected to provide specific molecular markers for diagnosis and judgment of prognosis for CNL. And also, these novel molecular markers will likely facilitate therapeutic decision making, and further characterization of such mutations is anticipated.

Key words: chronic neutrophilic leukemia(CNL), oncogenic mutations, myeloproliferative neoplasm(MPN), CSF3R, SETBP1
