Acquired Factor VIII autoantibody: four cases demonstrating the heterogenous nature of this condition and problems involved in diagnosis and treatment.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Primary and post-ET/PV myelofibrosis are myeloproliferative neoplasms harboring in most cases driving mutations in JAK2, CALR or MPL, and a variable number of additional mutations in other genes. Molecular analysis represents a powerful tool to guide prognosis and clinical management. Only about 10% of pat...
