Beyond MPN, the JAK2 V617F mutation has recently been identified in clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), a pre-malignant state that relates to the occurrence of a hematopoietic clone with somatic mutations known to be associated with myeloid neoplasms, but in a healthy individual with normal blood counts. The gene discussed is JAK2; the disease is myeloproliferative neoplasm.
