Overview
Screening for essential thrombocytosis by cell-based quantitative assays for JAK2V617F mutation is recommended among individuals with a positive family history for the disease (autosomal dominant inheritance) and in patients who present with thrombocytosis, erythrocytosis, and monocytosis.[1][2]
Screening
Screening for essential thrombocytosis by cell-based quantitative assays for JAK2V617F mutation is recommended among the following:[1][2]
- Individuals with a family history of essential thrombocytosis (autosomal dominant inheritance)
- Patients who present with thrombocytosis, erythrocytosis, and monocytosis.
