aRevised cytogenetic risk stratification: “very high risk (VHR)”—single/multiple abnormalities of –7, i(17q), inv(3)/3q21, 12p−/12p11.2, 11q−/11q23, +21, or other autosomal trisomies, not including +8 / +9; “favorable”—normal karyotype or sole abnormalities of 13q−, + 9, 20q−, chromosome 1 translocation/duplication or sex chromosome abnormality including -Y; “unfavorable”—all other abnormalities (Tefferi et al. personal communication, 05 November 2017)
