During multivariable analysis that included IPSET (international prognostic score for ET) variables, abnormal karyotype (p < 0.01, HR 2.0), age >60 years (p < 0.01, HR 4.5), leukocytosis >11 × 109/L (p < 0.01, HR 1.5), and male gender (p < 0.01, HR 1.4) were independently associated with inferior survival; abnormal karyotype and age >60 years remained significant, along with SF3B1/SRSF2/U2AF1/TP53 mutations (p = 0.04; HR 2.9), when the latter was included in the multivariable model. Here, SRSF2 is linked to essential thrombocythemia.
