In polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) specific JAK2 mutations constitutively activate the JAK-STAT pathway, explaining biologic findings such as endogenous erythroid colony (EECs) growth or PRV-1 RNA overexpression. Since these markers are detected also in JAK2 wild type patients, we hypothesized that, in these cases, the activation of the JAK-STAT pathway could be produced by a...
