## Abstract The discovery this year of a single mutation in the Janus Kinase (__JAK__)โ2 gene in a high percentage of cases of polycythaemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythaemia (ET) and myelofibrosis suggests that it maybe the underlying molecular mechanism for these disorders. Different approach
Recently, the acquired mutation JAK2-V617F has been described in the majority of patients with myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs). In this study we evaluated its clinical and laboratory correlates in 166 patients with MPDs. The mutation was detected by allele-specific PCR in 119 patients: 81.4% (35
