Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the MPL gene encoding the human thrombopoietin receptor (TpoR) drive sporadic and familial essential thrombocythemias (ETs). We identified 2 ET patients harboring double mutations in cis in MPL, namely, L498W-H499C and H499Y-S505N. Using biochemical and signaling assays along with partial saturation mutagenesis, we showed that L498W is an activating mutation potentiated by H499C and that H499C and...
