Abstract

The article presents research demonstrating Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) gene dependence of triple-negative breast cancers with JAK2 amplification. Topics discussed include the identification of JAK2 amplifications in breast cancer, the attribution of phenotypes to a cell population, and the potential of JAK2 amplification as JAK2 dependence biomarker.
