CALR MUTATION DETECTION Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CALR mutation detection test to identify mutations in the CALR gene. This genetic test is commonly used in the diagnosis and management of blood disorders such as essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF).
Test Cost
The CALR mutation detection test is available at a price of AED 1050.0.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Patients with certain blood disorders may exhibit symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, enlarged spleen, and fatigue. To diagnose these conditions, doctors may recommend the CALR mutation detection test. This test helps identify mutations in the CALR gene, which are associated with ET and PMF.
Sample Collection
To perform the CALR mutation detection test, a sample of 3 ml (minimum 2 ml) of whole blood is required. The blood should be collected in a Lavender top (EDTA) tube and shipped refrigerated. It is important not to freeze the sample. Additionally, a duly filled Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20) is mandatory for the test.
Report Delivery
The sample should be submitted by Monday before 11 am, and the report will be delivered on Saturday.
Method and Test Type
The CALR mutation detection test is performed using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and sequencing techniques. This test falls under the category of cancer genetic testing and is commonly requested by oncologists. It is conducted in the Molecular Diagnostics department of our lab.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is mandatory to complete the Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20).
Test Details
The CALR mutation detection test is specifically designed to identify mutations in the CALR gene. These mutations are associated with certain blood disorders, including ET and PMF. By analyzing a blood sample, our laboratory can detect any mutations using PCR or next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques. The test results provide valuable information to healthcare providers, helping them diagnose and manage patients with these conditions. Additionally, the results can assist in predicting disease progression and guiding treatment decisions, ensuring personalized patient care.

CALR mutation detection test is a genetic test used to identify mutations in the CALR gene. CALR gene mutations are associated with certain blood disorders, such as essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). These mutations can help in diagnosing and monitoring these diseases. The CALR mutation detection test is usually performed on a blood sample. The sample is analyzed in a laboratory using various techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or next-generation sequencing (NGS), to identify any mutations in the CALR gene. The test results can help healthcare providers determine the presence of CALR gene mutations and their specific type. This information is crucial for diagnosing and managing patients with ET or PMF. It can also assist in predicting disease progression and guiding treatment decisions. Overall, the CALR mutation detection test plays a significant role in the diagnosis and management of certain blood disorders, providing valuable information for personalized patient care. |
