Comments The JAK2V617F mutation, which causes constitutive activation, plays an oncogenic role in the pathogenesis of the myeloproliferative disorders, polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and idiopathic myelofibrosis [64, 115]. Small molecule compounds which inhibit aberrant JAK2 activity are being developed as novel anti‐cancer pharmaceuticals.
