==Overview== Polycythemia falls under the category of conditions called myeloproliferative neoplasms with an underlying mutation especially JAK2V617F. These disorders are characterised by an abnormal proliferation of both immature and mature myeloid cells. Parnes A, Ravi A (December 2016). "Polycythemia and Thrombocytosis".
