Abstract excerpt
This review outlines recent advances in the understanding of gene alterations and the genetic background associated with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), as well as describing the roles of these genetic factors in the development of MPNs. JAK2, CALR, and MPL mutations that are specifically found in patients with MPNs have been shown to constitutively activate cytokine receptors. Other mutations that are...
