Test Code LAB3790 JAK2 Exon 12 and Other Non-V617F Mutation Detection, Bone Marrow

Additional Codes

Mayo Test ID
JAKXM

Reporting Name

JAK2 Exon 12 Mutation Detection, BM

Useful For

Second-order testing to aid in the distinction between a reactive cytosis and a myeloproliferative neoplasm, particularly when a diagnosis of polycythemia is being entertained; for use with bone marrow specimens

Testing Algorithm

This is a second-order test that should be used when the test for the JAK2M / JAK2 V617F Mutation Detection, Bone Marrow test is negative.

 

See Myeloproliferative Neoplasm: A Diagnostic Approach to Bone Marrow Evaluation in Special Instructions.

Performing Laboratory

Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester

Specimen Type

Bone Marrow


Ordering Guidance


In all cases being evaluated for JAK2 mutation status, the initial test that should be ordered is JAK2M / JAK2 V617F Mutation Detection, Bone Marrow, a sensitive assay for detection of the mutation. However, if no JAK2 V617F mutation is found, further evaluation of JAK2 may be clinically indicated.

 

This test is a second-order test that should be ordered when the test for the JAK2M / JAK2 V617F Mutation Detection, Bone Marrow test is negative.
