Mutation of JAK2 in the myeloproliferative disorders: timing, clonality studies, cytogenetic associations, and role in leukemic transformation
28 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
The identification of an acquired mutation of JAK2 in patients with myeloproliferative disorders has raised questions about the relationship between mutation-positive and mutation-negative subtypes, timing of the JAK2 mutation, and molecular mechanisms of disease progression. Here we demonstrate that patients with V617F(-) essential thrombocythemia do not commonly progress to become V617F(+). Consistent with the...
