Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of JAK2V617F tyrosine kinase mutation differs between various variants of myelofibrosis with the higher detection rate for patients with post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis (post-PV MF; 91%) if compared to primary myelofibrosis (PMF; 45%) and post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (post-ET MF; 39%). The impact of V617F point mutation and its allele burden on overall survival (OS) and the...
