: All methods described in this manuscript were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. 172 JAK2V617F positive patients included in this study were part of a 358-patient study [ ] identified from the MPN registry at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02760238), from whom peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PB-MNCs) were collected at the first visit to Princess Margaret. Inclusion criteria consisted of a diagnosis of MF, including PMF, pre-fibrotic MF, post-ET MF, or post-PV MF in chronic phase. Individuals were excluded if they received a diagnosis of MPN-Unclassified (MPN-U), MPN/myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) overlap, or lacked a biospecimen. All biological samples were collected under Research Ethics Board approval (REB#17-5601) with written informed consent as per the Declaration of Helsinki and were viably frozen in the Princess Margaret, hematologic malignancies tissue bank.
