Abstract excerpt
MPL (or thrombopoietin receptor, TPO-R) 515 mutations have recently been described in 5-10% of primitive myelofibrosis (PMF) cases as decisive oncogenic events capable of triggering the disease. Here we report additional mutations located in exon 10 of MPL in PMF patients. We investigated whether these new mutations also lead to cell transformation. MPL exon 10 was systematically sequenced in 100 PMF patients....
