Novel somatic mutations of the VHL gene in an erythropoietin-producing renal carcinoma associated with secondary polycythemia and elevated circulating endothelial progenitor cells.

abstract：:Polycythemia vera (PV) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by thrombotic and, less often, bleeding complications. Many mechanisms have been advanced to explain the occurrence of these complications, none of them satisfactory. We examined a cohort of 27 patients with PV, secondary erythrocytosis, and essenti...
