Important Note

With molecular testing advancement, a blood smear LAP score to distinguish Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia from other myeloproliferative neoplasms and benign etiologies provides no real clinical or diagnostic value.

There are 2 alternative recommended tests to choice from:

BCR/ABL1 Translocation (9;22), FISH - WHOLE BLOOD - 1 FULL DARK GREEN TOP - NA HEPARIN - CANNOT SHARE

OR

JAK2 V617F Mutation Detection, Blood - 1 FULL LAVENDER EDTA - CANNOT SHARE

Only one test should be ordered - NOT BOTH.

Both tests are sent to MAYO laboratories.

Please Search those tests for more information.
