MPL and Thrombocytosis: Thrombocytosis can be due to genetic alterations that affect either the intrinsic MPL signaling through gain-of-function (GOF) activity (MPL, JAK2, CALR) and loss-of-function (LOF) activity of negative regulators (CBL, LNK) or the extrinsic MPL signaling by THPO GOF mutations leading to increased TPO synthesis.
