Summary

This study aims to find the genetic mutation that causes polycythemia (too many red blood cells) and thrombocytosis (too many platelets). Researchers will analyze blood samples from 200 participants to identify the faulty gene. The goal is to use this knowledge to develop new treatments and, eventually, a cure.
