AIMS: Marked thrombocytosis is uncommon in chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) but may be associated with mutation of JAK2 V617F, calreticulin (CALR) and/or phospho-STAT5 (p-STAT5) activation in other myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), particularly essential thrombocythaemia (ET). We investigated the JAK2 V617F, CALR and STAT5 activation status in patients with CML and thrombocytosis (CML-T) that mimicked ET,...
