Abstract excerpt
An activating JAK2 mutation (JAK2 V617F) is present in the chronic myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs), polycythemia vera (PV), idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF), and essential thrombocytosis (ET). JAK2 is also a chaperone for Mpl and responsible for its cell-surface expression. We observed a reciprocal relationship between neutrophil JAK2 V617F allele percentage and platelet Mpl expression in JAK2 V617F-positive...
