The MPN PROGRESSion Registry™ is a patient-focused research initiative that collects comprehensive, long-term, myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) patient health data.

This animation helps you understand myelofibrosis (MF), a type of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) in which scar tissue builds up in the bone marrow and interferes with normal blood cell production. You'll learn how MF develops, the role of gene mutations such as JAK2, CALR, and MPL, and the difference between primary and secondary MF. The animation also explains common symptoms, how MF can affect organs like the spleen, how doctors confirm the diagnosis through blood tests and bone marrow biopsy, and what to expect after diagnosis.

This animation helps you understand polycythemia vera (PV), a type of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) in which the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells. You'll learn how blood cells are made and why having too many red blood cells can thicken the blood, increasing the risk of clots (which can cause heart attacks, strokes, or leg blockages), bleeding problems, and an enlarged spleen. The animation also covers key signs and symptoms, the role of the JAK2 mutation, blood tests, bone marrow biopsy, and steps you can take after diagnosis.

The MPN PROGRESSion Registry™ is a patient-focused research initiative that collects comprehensive, long-term, myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) patient health data.

This animation helps you understand essential thrombocythemia (ET), a type of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) in which the bone marrow makes too many platelets. You'll learn how blood cells are produced, why excess platelets can lead to clotting or bleeding complications, and what symptoms to watch for. The animation also explains common genetic mutations such as JAK2, CALR, and MPL, how doctors confirm the diagnosis through blood tests and bone marrow biopsy, and what care may look like going forward.

This resource is intended for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms, caregivers, and those who are interested in learning about myeloproliferative neoplasms. You will find expert advice about myeloproliferative neoplasms to help you discuss key issues with your healthcare provider and make important decisions related to management and treatment. Easy-to-understand animations with audio narration, expert video explanations, patient experience videos, slide shows, and educational downloads are available to you.
