Familial Polycythaemia Vera

Abstract: The familial occurrence of polycythaemia vera (PV) is rare, with only 3 authentic reports in the world literature. This paper describes a family of 8 females, 3 of whom have PV and another has pernicious anaemia. Clinical and haematological data is presented to support the diagnosis of PV and exclude other causes of familial erythrocytosis. Cytogenetic studies were performed in 2 of the patients.

“…[1] Primary-acquired erythrocytosis involves polycythemia vera (PV), which is characterized by the presence of JAK2 mutations, although these markers are not found in about 1% of patients with PV. [2][3][4] Secondary-acquired erythrocytosis, however, occurs when erythropoietin (EPO) drives the production of red cells. This situation can develop in various cardiac, pulmonary, and renal diseases or from external hypoxic conditions.…”
