Aberrant erythrocyte rigidity in JAK2 V617F myeloproliferative neoplasms underlies concurrent thrombosis and hemorrhage

Thrombotic events are the leading cause of death in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) driven by the JAK2 Val 617 →Phe (JAK2V617F) mutation. We investigated how JAK2V617F alters hemostasis and thrombosis in humans and in lineage-specific knockin mice to test whether red blood ce...
