Abstract excerpt
Immature platelets (IPFs), which are hemostatically more active than mature platelets, have been found elevated in essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera, 2 myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) characterized by an increased risk of thrombosis. It is not known whether the IPF levels are influenced by pathogenetic factors, including JAK2V617F mutational status, or by treatment regimen. To address this point,...
