In the diagnosis of polycythaemia vera and essential thrombocythaemia, two molecular markers were described in the last decade: the overexpression of the PRV-1 gene and the V617F mutation in the JAK2 gene. In this study we assess their usefulness by comparing our test results with the available clinical data. We show that in the diagnosis of polycythaemia vera the JAK2 mutation screening is crucial, while testing...
