Missense mutation of the erythropoietin receptor is a rare event in human erythroid malignancies
15 Feb 1996
Abstract excerpt
Human erythroid malignancies (polycythemia vera [PV] and erythroleukemia) are associated with erythropoietin (Epo)-independent growth and differentiation. Missense or nonsense mutations in the Epo receptor (Epo-R) have been recently described in experimental erythroleukemia in mice and in cases of erythrocytosis in humans. To search for a similar genetic alteration in erythroleukemia and PV, we entirely sequenced...
