Abstract excerpt
The modulation of JAK2 V617F allele burden dynamics was prospectively analysed in 47 patients (26 polycythaemia vera [PV] and 21 essential thrombocythaemia [ET]) treated with first-line hydroxyurea (HU) and compared with the JAK2 V617F dynamics of a control group of 45 PV and ET patients. A partial molecular response (PMR), according to European Leukaemia Net criteria, was observed in 27/47 (57%) patients. Median...
