The JAK2 617V>F mutation triggers erythropoietin hypersensitivity and terminal erythroid amplification in primary cells from patients with polycythemia vera
28 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
The JAK2 617V>F mutation is frequent in polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET). Using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we found that high levels of JAK2 617V>F in PV correlate with increased granulocytes and high levels of hemoglobin and endogenous erythroid colony formation. We detected normal progenitors and those that were heterozygous or homozygous for the mutation by...
