Ethical Approval

This is a retrospective analysis using DNA extracted from EDTA blood sample that has been collected for routine molecular diagnostic procedures (JAK2, CALR) in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms in our institution. No additional sample was collected from any patient for this study. All procedures performed in this study involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments.
