Added comment: There is limited evidence to support an association of JAK2 variants with hereditary/congenital erythrocytosis. Typically, variants are somatic/acquired; and to date, only one report has described a patient with germline compound het variants (p.E846D and p.R1063H) in JAK2, who exhibited polyclonal erythrocytosis and megakaryocytic atypia but normal platelet number (PMID:27389715).

GoF somatic variants in this gene are also associated with polycythaemia vera (PV), particularly p.V617F, but also with reports of some familial clustering due to inheritance of the JAK2 46/1 predisposition haplotype.

Amber rating due to the somatic nature of variants.
