What causes myeloproliferative disorder?

Myeloproliferative disorders(MPDs) are blood disorders that are believed to be caused by mutations in bone marrow stem cells. The molecular causes of the majority of MPN cases have been identified as mutations in the genes JAK2 and ABL and are found in nearly all patients with polycythemia vera and chronic myeloid leukemia. However, some researchers believe that viral infections, exposure to toxins, exposure to radiation or something else may be the cause of others.

Why can't you donate blood if you have polycythemia vera?

Polycythemia Vera is the clonal expansion of red cells (primarily), white cells and platelets. Since PCV is a myeloproliferative disorder of unknown etiology, FDA guidelines require permanent deferral from volunteer blood donation. Patients with PCV may, however, donated blood for their own use (autologous donation).
