N2 - A patient with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia displaying the V617F mutation of the JAK2 gene was given an allogeneic stem cell transplantation using a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen. The patient engrafted, and as he became a chimera, the expression of the V617F mutation of the JAK2 gene decreased progressively until its disappearance. Accordingly, the concept of "molecular remission" of the myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia could be entertained and added to the categories of response to treatment which have been recently described.
