The <i>JAK2</i> V617F mutation occurs in hematopoietic stem cells in polycythemia vera and predisposes toward erythroid differentiation
7 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
Although a large proportion of patients with polycythemia vera (PV) harbor a valine-to-phenylalanine mutation at amino acid 617 (V617F) in the JAK2 signaling molecule, the stage of hematopoiesis at which the mutation arises is unknown. Here we isolated and characterized hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and myeloid progenitors from 16 PV patient samples and 14 normal individuals, testing whether the JAK2 mutation...
