Abstract excerpt
To study the role of the JAK2-V617F mutation in leukemic transformation, we examined 27 patients with myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs) who transformed to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). At MPD diagnosis, JAK2-V617F was detectable in 17 of 27 patients. Surprisingly, only 5 of 17 patients developed JAK2-V617F-positive AML, whereas 9 of 17 patients transformed to JAK2-V617F-negative AML. Microsatellite analysis in...
