Altered expression of CSF3R splice variants impacts signal response and is associated with SRSF2 mutations.

Three annotated CSF3R mRNA splice variants have been described. CSF3R-V1 is the wild-type receptor, while CSF3R-V4 is a truncated form increased in some patients with AML. CSF3R-V3 mRNA was identified in placenta more than 20 years ago, but remains largely uncharacterized due to the lack of a suitable detection assay.
