JAK2 V617F Mutation in Adult Taiwanese Patients with Essential Thrombocythemia: More Prevalent in Old Patients and Correlated with Higher Hemoglobin Level and Higher Leukocyte Count

JAK2 V617F Mutation in Adult Taiwanese Patients with Essential Thrombocythemia: More Prevalent in Old Patients and Correlated with Higher Hemoglobin Level and Higher Leukocyte Count

Background: Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is classified as a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm. JAK2 V617F mutation is found in about 50–60% patients with ET. We aim to determine the prevalence of JAK2 V617F mutation and its association with phenotype in adult Taiwanese patients with ET. Methods:...
