abstract：:Calreticulin mutations (CALR(MUT)) are found in a significant proportion of patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) lacking JAK2(V617F) or MPL mutations. They are associated with substantially different hematological and clinical features and define a distinct subtype of ET. We show here that their presence is si...
