The prevalence of JAK2 mutations in this population of Asian ET patients was 34%. Patients with the JAK2 mutation were significantly more likely to have high-risk disease.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
