Abstract excerpt
To further characterize JAK2 exon 12 mutations, we performed molecular screening in 409 patients with polycythemia vera or unclear erythrocytosis with unmutated JAK2V617. The frequency of JAK2exon12 mutations was 10/63 (15.9%) in PV but only 5/346 (1.4%) in the erythrocytosis cases. Nine different mutations including four new types (D544-L545del, H538DK539LI540S, H538-K539del, V536-F547dup) were detected. In 2...
