EVENT DESCRIPTION
Participants to the twelfth MPN&MPNr-EuroNet meeting will have the opportunity to hear from international experts about the newest developments in the molecular diagnosis of MPNs and related congenital/hereditary diseases.
EVENT CONTENT
- to improve knowledge on the histopathology of MPN which do not carry mutations of JAK2. To do so, the meeting will begin on April 6th, 2011 with a plenary session, where invited speakers will describe the histopathology of MPN, with specific emphasis on MPL-mutated MPN.
- to inform participants on the newest developments in MPN and related congenital diseases.
- to exchange and diffuse information on the molecular assays developed for diagnosis or research in laboratories across Europe. To do so, abstracts will be selected for short talks in each of the working group sessions and posters will be presented during the whole length of the meeting. The short talks and the poster sessions are dedicated to sharing information on the various molecular assays used and the results obtained by participants to the meeting.
- to discuss and plan for the different tasks and objectives of the 4 working groups (WG). To do so, each WG will convene on April 7th, 2011 in plenary sessions under the direction of the WG chairs. New participants are encouraged to become actively involved in specific WG tasks.
