ABSTRACT
Idiopathic erythrocytosis (IE) is a primary erythrocytosis not fulfilling the criteria for polycythemia vera (PV) diagnosis. In order to verify the relationship between IE and PV, we screened JAK2V617F mutation in a consecutive series of 11 IE and, for comparison, in 15 PV. JAK2V617F mutation was screened by both cDNA sequencing and mutation specific PCR in both peripheral blood and bone marrow samples. All 11 IE tested negative for JAK2V617F mutation, which, conversely, occurred in 11/15 (73.3%) PV. Our results demonstrate that JAK2V617F is absent in IE and may represent a useful molecular marker for distinguishing IE from PV.
