Polycythaemia vera: molecular genetics, diagnostics and therapeutics.

Abstract excerpt

Polycythaemia vera is one of several classical myeloproliferative neoplasms that may occur in a juvenile onset or late-onset adult forms. It is linked to specific genetic mutations that cause a deleterious elevation in the patient's red cell mass. The discourse on genetics includes an exposé on the molecular biology of the disease and how a shared JAK2 V617F mutation can co-exist among three distinct neoplasms....
