How should “early” <strong>PV</strong> be diagnosed?<br />

RBC remains preferable.<br />

• Absolute increase in red blood cells<br />

(not Hgb), RBC determined by RCM<br />

using Cr 51.<br />

• JAK2 V617F or Exon 12 mutation always<br />

present n = 292 (The Cornell<br />

experience)<br />

• Virtually always accompanied by other<br />

evidence of myeloproliferation<br />

(confirmatory)
