Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The activating JAK2 mutation with a G-C to T-A transversion at codon 617 (JAK2(V617F)) is associated with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and myelofibrosis. Here, we report a technical advance in the diagnosis of JAK2(V617F) in MPNs by melting curve analysis (MCA). METHODS: From January through December 2006, we...
