Abstract
JAK2-inhibitors rapidly reduce spleen enlargement and clinical symptoms in persons with myelofibrosis but have little, if any, effect on the WBC, anemia, decreased platelets or bone marrow fibrosis. Also, JAK2-inhibitors are active in persons with and without the JAK2-mutation. Based on these and other data we suggest that the predominant effect of JAK2-inhibitors in persons with myelofibrosis is on normal rather than the abnormal clones.Entities:
