Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The discovery of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)-V617F has provided important insight into the pathogenesis of Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph-negative MPNs); however, the etiology of JAK2(V617F)-negative Ph-negative MPN remains unidentified. MPL(W515L) and MPL(W515K) (MPL(W515L/K)) are 2 gain-of-function mutations, which have been found in some Ph-negative MPN patients from...
