STAT5B mutations in myeloid neoplasms differ by disease subtypes but characterize a subset of chronic myeloid neoplasms with eosinophilia and/or basophilia.

STAT5B has been reported as a recurrent mutation in myeloid neoplasms (MNs) with eosinophilia, but the overall frequency and importance across a spectrum of MNs are largely unknown. We conducted a multicenter study on a series of 82 MNs with STAT5B mutations detected by next-generation sequencing. The estimated frequency of STAT5B mutation in MNs was low.
