Next-generation sequencing in the diagnosis of non-cirrhotic splanchnic vein thrombosis

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are the most frequent cause of non-tumoural non-cirrhotic splanchnic vein thrombosis (NC-SVT). Diagnosis of MPN is based on blood cell count alterations, bone marrow histology, and detection of specific gene mutations. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) allows the simultaneous evaluation of multiple genes implicated in myeloid clonal pathology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential role of NGS in...
