Abstract excerpt
Erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) gene mutations leading to truncations of the cytoplasmic, carboxy-terminal region of EPOR have been described in some patients with primary familial and congenital polycythemia (PFCP), a disorder characterized by isolated erythrocytosis and increased sensitivity of erythroid progenitors to Epo. We studied the role of EPOR in the pathogenesis of PFCP and the requirement for...
