Improved diagnosis of the transition to JAK2 (V⁶¹⁷F) homozygosity: the key feature for predicting the evolution of myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Most cases of BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), essential thrombocythemia, polycythemia vera and primary myelofibrosis are associated with JAK2 (V617F) mutations. The outcomes of these cases are critically influenced by the transition from JAK2 (V617F) heterozygosity to homozygo...
