Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Polycythemia vera (PV) is a clonal myeloproliferative neoplasia associated with the activation of the Janus-activating kinase 2 (JAK2) mutation. The aim of this study is to identify clonal expansion of exon 12 mutations. METHODS: We performed DNA sequencing of the JAK2 exon 12 after TA-cloning in JAK2-V617F-negative and JAK2-V617F-positive PV patients. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: We found clonal mutations...
