16 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
The discovery of mutations in calreticulin ( CALR ) in patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) 1 , 2 prompted a reappraisal of the clinical correlates and prognostic impact of the so-called driver mutations that include JAK2 V617F, MPL W515L/K/A and CALR in ~60%, 5–10% and 20–25% of patients, respectively. As compared with their JAK2 V617F counterpart, PMF patients harboring CALR mutations showed younger age,...
