TLDR
It is concluded that JAK2 617V>F homozygosity identifies PV or ET patients with a more symptomatic myeloproliferative disorder and is associated with a higher risk of major cardiovascular events in patients with ET.

Novel mutations and their functional and clinical relevance in myeloproliferative neoplasms: JAK2 , MPL , TET2 , ASXL1 , CBL , IDH and IKZF1

Ayalew Tefferi
- 29 Apr 2010 - 
TL;DR: The functional consequences of MPN-associated mutations including unregulated JAK-STAT signaling, epigenetic modulation of transcription and abnormal accumulation of oncoproteins are not clear as to whether and how these abnormalities contribute to disease initiation, clonal evolution or blastic transformation.

Ratio of mutant JAK2-V617F to wild-type Jak2 determines the MPD phenotypes in transgenic mice

TL;DR: Higher levels of JAK2-V617F in mouse bone marrow by retroviral transduction caused a PV-like phenotype without thrombocytosis, consistent with the hypothesis that the ratio of mutant to wild-type JAK1 is critical for the phenotypic manifestation.

Ratio of mutant JAK2-V617F to wild-type Jak2 determines the MPD phenotypes in transgenic mice. Commentary

TL;DR: In this article, the authors generated JAK2-V617F transgenic mice with the sequences encoding the kinase domain placed in the inverse orientation and flanked by antiparallel loxP sites.

Impact of calreticulin mutations on clinical and hematological phenotype and outcome in essential thrombocythemia

TL;DR: Genotyping for CALR mutations represents a novel useful tool for establishing a clonal myeloproliferative disorder in JAK2 and MPL wt patients with thrombocytosis and may have prognostic and therapeutic relevance.

A Gain-of-Function Mutation of JAK2 in Myeloproliferative Disorders

TL;DR: Genetic evidence and in vitro functional studies indicate that V617F gives hematopoietic precursors proliferative and survival advantages and a high proportion of patients with myeloproliferative disorders carry a dominant gain-of-function mutation of JAK2.

Acquired mutation of the tyrosine kinase JAK2 in human myeloproliferative disorders.

TL;DR: A single acquired mutation of JAK2 was noted in more than half of patients with a myeloproliferative disorder and its presence in all erythropoietin-independent erythroid colonies demonstrates a link with growth factor hypersensitivity, a key biological feature of these disorders.

A unique clonal JAK2 mutation leading to constitutive signalling causes polycythaemia vera

TL;DR: A clonal and recurrent mutation in the JH2 pseudo-kinase domain of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) gene in most (> 80%) polycythaemia vera patients leads to constitutive tyrosine phosphorylation activity that promotes cytokine hypersensitivity and induces erythrocytosis in a mouse model.

Proposed Revised Criteria for the Classification of Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Report of the French-American-British Cooperative Group

TL;DR: The first proposals for the morphologic classification of the acute leukemias by the French-American-British (FAB) group were put forward in the hope that they might serve as a basis for future studies.
