Overview
In 2005, a mutation in the JAK2 kinase (V617F) was found in multiple patients with myeloprolifrative neoplasm (including polycythemia vera) by different researchers.[1]
Historical Perspective
- In 1892, Louis Henry Vaquez first described polycythemia vera as a disorder of red blood cells.[2]
- In 1903, Sir William Olser reinforced the concept of polycythemia vera.[2]
- In 1953, William Dameshek described myeloproliferative neoplasms as a group of disorders including polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and myelofibrosis.[2]
- In 2005, multiple groups including those led by William Vainchenker, Ross Levine, Robert Kralovics, and Tony Green first described the JAK2 V617F mutation in polycythemia vera.[2]
- In 2005, a mutation in the JAK2 kinase (V617F) was found in multiple patients with myeloprolifrative neoplasm (including polycythemia vera) by different researchers.[1]
