PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for determining the presence/absence of a G1849T mutant of a JAK2 gene in a specimen taken from a polycythemia vera patient or a patient having the possibility of developing polycythemia vera or any other myeloproliferative syndromes, especially polycythemia, hyperleukocytosis, thrombocytosis and myelofibrosis, and to provide a method for treating any of these diseases.
SOLUTION: A transgenic animal characterized by reproducing polycythemia vera is provided. A method for detecting the presence/absence of a G1849T mutant of JAK2 gene in a nucleic acid specimen taken from a relevant patient is also provided. Besides, siRNA having the ability to reduce the expression of a JAK2 V617F mutant by 50% or more or 95% or more is provided.
