JAK2V617F detection and allele burden measurement in saliva vs. peripheral blood in patients with myelofibrosis.

Abstract excerpt

We previously demonstrated that peripheral blood (PB) is a reliable source for testing JAK2V617F mutation in patients with myelofibrosis (MF); saliva has also been tested to detect such mutation, however its diagnostic accuracy as compared to PB has not been validated. In this study, we prospectively tested 167 patients with MF for JAK2V617F mutation, using both saliva and PB collected at the same time from each...
