Myeloproliferative syndromes (MPS) are characterized by clonal proliferation patterns of hematological precursor cells with a tendency to develop acute leukemia. Cytopenias typically seen in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) are uncommon, as are dysplastic morphological features. Hence a pathogenesis different from MDS is suspected, which is an important reason to separate the discussion and classification of MPS from MDS
