Will Jill come tumbling after? The case for a JAK2-type mutation as a prequel to the connective tissue disorders.

Abstract excerpt

The JAK2 [V617F] mutation has recently been recognised as critical to the pathogenesis of the myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs). Thus, a common mutation affecting a haematopoietic precursor stem cell is capable of giving rise to diverse clinical phenotypes. In this hypothesis paper, we propose that a similar mutation affecting a stem cell precursor, most likely of the B cell lineage, could underlie the...
