MPN with FGFR1 rearrangement is a rare and aggressive subtype. While the search results don't specifically cover FGFR1, there are general MPN risks that are worth knowing about.

- Infections β bacterial, viral, and fungal infections are more common and can become serious more quickly
- Blood clots β which can lead to stroke or heart attack
- Transformation β MPNs can progress to more aggressive blood cancers
- Anemia β from abnormal blood cell production
- Bleeding disorders β such as acquired von Willebrand disease
- Secondary cancers β including skin cancers Factors that can affect how severe an MPN becomes include age at diagnosis, white blood cell counts, and the number of gene mutations present.
