Updates in the management of polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia
Polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) are both classic, relatively indolent, chronic Philadelphia-chromosome-negative (Ph−) myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) characterized by elevated blood counts, thrombotic as well as hemorrhagic ...

Detection of JAK2 exon 12 mutations in 15 patients with JAK2V617F negative polycythemia vera
To further characterize JAK2 exon 12 mutations, we performed molecular screening in 409 patients with polycythemia vera or unclear erythrocytosis with unmutated JAK2V617. The frequency of JAK2exon12 mutations was 10/63 (15.9%) in PV but only 5/346 (1.4%)

Establishing optimal quantitative-polymerase chain reaction assays for routine diagnosis and tracking of minimal residual disease in JAK2-V617F-associated myeloproliferative neoplasms: a joint European LeukemiaNet/MPN&MPNr-EuroNet (COST action BM0902) study [PDF]
Item does not contain fulltextReliable detection of JAK2-V617F is critical for accurate diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs); in addition, sensitive mutation-specific assays can be applied to monitor disease response.

Targeted deep sequencing in polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia.
Polycythemia vera (PV) is characterized by JAK2 and essential thrombocythemia (ET) by JAK2, calreticulin (CALR), and myeloproliferative leukemia virus oncogene (MPL) mutations; we describe the occurrence and prognostic relevance of DNA sequence variants ...

ABSTRACT Background & Aims The course of BCR::ABL1‐negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) is frequently complicated by thromboembolic events in the splanchnic venous system, resulting in portal hypertension (PH). Therefore, the introduction of spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) might improve the diagnosis of PH.

Treatment of polycythemia vera [PDF]
Polycythemia vera is a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by hematopoietic stem cell-derived clonal myeloproliferation resulting in erythrocytosis, leukocytosis and thrombocytosis. Survival is reduced compared with general population.

Superior Vena Cava Syndrome in a Patient with Polycytemia Vera: Diagnosis and Treatment
Polycythemia vera is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by thrombotic complications both in the arterial and venous systems. We report the case of a 55-year-old patient affected by polycythemia vera, presenting with acute superior vena cava ...

Mechanisms of thrombogenesis in polycythemia vera
Thrombotic and cardiovascular events are among the leading causes of death for patients with polycythemia vera (PV), and thrombosis history is a key criterion for patient risk stratification and treatment strategy. Little is known, however, about mechanisms of thrombogenesis in patients with PV.

Ropeginterferon alpha-2b targets JAK2V617F-positive polycythemia vera cells in vitro and in vivo
Polycythemia vera is characterized by the acquisition of the JAK2V617F mutation. Recommended treatments include hydroxyurea and interferon-alpha. Several groups have reported a reduction in the JAK2 mutant allele burden in interferon-treated patients ...
