Age- and gender-based frequency and association of common myeloproliferative mutations in a South African cohort

MPN genetic testing in South Africa predominantly targeted male patients (ratio 1.4:1). <i>BCR::ABL1</i> was the most common abnormality, particularly in individuals aged 18 to 49 years, while <i>JAK-2</i> p.V617F showed a slight female predominance (1:1.2).
