Novel agents in the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma: Biological basis and clinical results.

abstract：:By definition, myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs) are caused by an acquired somatic mutation of a hematopoietic progenitor/stem cell and have sporadic occurrence. However, well-documented families exist with first-degree relatives acquiring one or several MPDs. It is reasonable to assume that the germ-line mutation(s...
