Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The JAK2(V617F) allele burden is a variable measure, determined by the frequency of mitotic recombination events and the expansion of JAK2(V617F) clones. Since variability in the JAK2(V617F) allele burden is partly responsible for the distinct phenotypes seen in the myeloproliferative disorders, the objective of this study was to identify modifiers of the allele burden. DESIGN AND METHODS: Blood...
