Two main types of jak2 mutations are found in mpns
The v617f mutation is caused by a change in a single base in the genetic code This simple change then switches the amino acid valine (v) to phenylalanine (f) at position 617 in the jak2 protein, altering the protein’s shape. Jak2 myeloproliferative disease refers to a group of clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by excessive production of mature blood cells that harbor the jak2v617f mutation or similar activating mutations, including polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis. The jak2 gene plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy blood cell production, and mutations in this gene can lead to the development of various disorders, including polycythemia vera, myeloproliferative disorders, and certain types of cancer.
