Mutation4
Instead, PV cells often carry activating mutation in the tyrosine kinase (JAK2) gene, which acts in signaling pathways of the EPO-receptor, making those cells proliferate independent from EPO. (wikipedia.org)
Virtually all patients with PV harbor a mutation in the nonreceptor tyrosine kinase JAK2, with the majority of patients harboring the classic JAK2. (targetedonc.com)

Primary1
Polycythemia vera (PV), being a primary polycythemia (increase in the fraction of volume occupied by red cells in the blood), is caused by neoplastic proliferation and maturation of erythroid, megakaryocytic and granulocytic elements to produce what is referred to as panmyelosis. (wikipedia.org)
JAK2 inhibition for PV remains a viable option for a subset of patients that fail hydroxyurea and are particularly in need of symptomatic control. (targetedonc.com)
