Journal Article
Li, J., Kent, D., Godfrey, A., Manning, H., Nangalia, J., Aziz, A., …Green, A. (2014). JAK2V617F homozygosity drives a phenotypic switch in myeloproliferative neoplasms, but is insufficient to sustain disease. Blood, 123(20), 3139-3151. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood-2013-06-510222

Genomic regions of acquired uniparental disomy (UPD) are common in malignancy and frequently harbor mutated oncogenes. Homozygosity for such gain-of-function mutations is thought to modulate tumor phenotype, but direct evidence has been elusive. Poly...
