Idiopathic myelofibrosis (IM) is a clonal hematological malignancy originating from pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). HSC are very rare potent cells that reside in the bone marrow (BM) and at a lower level in peripheral blood (PB). Previous studies showed that IM PB CD34 + cells contain not only BM repopulating cells belonging to the malignant clone but also residual normal HSC.
