Predicting disease natural history remains a particularly challenging endeavor in cancer, thus limiting early detection, risk stratification, and preventive interventions. Here, profiling the spectrum of chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) as a model, we identify the blood platelet transcriptome as a generalizable strategy for highly sensitive progression biomarkers that also enable prediction via machine learning algorithms. Using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), we derive disease-relevant gene expression and alternative splicing in purified platelets from 120 peripheral blood samples constituting two independently collected and mutually validating cohorts of the three MPN subtypes – essential thrombocythemia, ET (n=24), polycythemia vera, PV (n=33), and primary or post ET/PV myelofibrosis, MF (n=42), as well as healthy donors (n=21).
