<i>JAK2</i>V617F mutation in platelets from essential thrombocythemia patients: correlation with clinical features and analysis of STAT5 phosphorylation status
17 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: JAK2V617F mutation rate in granulocytes from essential thrombocythemia (ET) patients ranges from 12% to 57%. Our aim was to evaluate the frequency of this mutation in the megakaryocyte/platelet lineage, and to analyze its clinical associations in ET. In addition, we determined whether this mutation leads to constitutive phosphorylation of STAT5 in platelets. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Consecutive patients...
