Abstract excerpt
We studied 25 patients with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia and 19 patients with secondary myelofibrosis associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH). In these 2 groups, we compared the peripheral-blood CD34 count, the clonality of granulocytes and platelets in peripheral blood, the mutational status of the JAK2 kinase gene, and the morphology of the peripheral blood and bone marrow. We found that the...
