Genetic heterogeneity of primary familial and congenital polycythemia
6 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
Primary familial and congenital polycythemia (PFCP) is an inherited disorder of erythroid progenitor cells resulting in elevated erythrocyte mass. Several mutations of the erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) gene have been associated with PFCP, although in a few families the linkage between the EPOR gene and PFCP has been excluded. To examine the role of EPOR mutations in the pathogenesis of PFCP, we studied 43...
