Abstract

Sixty-three patients with erythrocytosis exhibiting a range of erythropoietin levels were screened for the JAK2 V617F mutation. One patient (1.6%) was found to have this mutation, and has remained stable for 9 years, suggesting that the JAK2 V617F mutation is rare in patients with idiopathic erythrocytosis.
