A
Guide to
the Genetics of
Polycythaemia Vera (Rubra)
&
Essential Thrombocythaemia
'PV & ET'
This website is for people with PV, ET, or just a positive JAK2 V617F test result
and for anyone interested in learning more about these diseases.
This website looks carefully at the possible link between this set of conditions
and a 'Maternal Age Effect' and 'Mitochondrial Haplogroup'.
I have written a paper that looks in detail as to how PV might be an inherited disease.
This paper is now available:
Is Polycythaemia Vera a maternally transmissible disease ?
An Opportunity to Contribute:

and any mitochondrial haplotype label you may have had given.
All your details will be very useful ... for more information:
