JAK2-V617F mutation among blood donors. A meta-analysis
Alsharif et al review on the prevalence of the JAK2V617F (JAK2) mutation and polycythemia vera (PV) among all blood donors, focusing on those with elevated hematocrit. Eligible studies examined blood donors in hospital or community settings, had a sample size of at least 20 donors, and reported the prevalence of the JAK2 mutation or PV. Of those, ten studies examined the presence of a JAK-2 mutation in 1,999 blood donors. The overall proportion of JAK2 mutations was 3%. The prevalence of the JAK2 mutation among blood donors is similar to the general population’s but slightly higher among repeat donors with elevated hematocrit.
