Extent of hematopoietic involvement by TET2 mutations in JAK2V617F polycythemia vera

Haematologica, 2011
TET2 mutations are found in polycythemia vera and it was initially reported that there is a greater TET2 mutational burden than JAK2V617F in polycythemia vera stem cells and that TET2 mutations precede JAK2V617F.
