Hi @tennis7777, welcome to Connect. I’m not a medical professional but from my experience of having 3 acquired genetic mutations which caused my leukemia, once a gene has mutated they don’t reverse on their own.
There are medications/treatments which can help slow the proliferation of the damaged cells but they don’t reverse the mutation. Stem cell transplants and Car T therapies can be potential cures for patients.
Some mutations may be corrected through Genome editing, as indicated in this article:

Have you been diagnosed with a blood condition because of a JAK2 V617F mutation?
