JAK 2 V617F REFLEX TO JAK 2 EXON 12 MUTATION DETECTION Test
Are you experiencing symptoms that may be related to myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs)? DNA Labs UAE offers the JAK 2 V617F REFLEX TO JAK 2 EXON 12 MUTATION DETECTION Test, a comprehensive laboratory test that can help diagnose and guide treatment decisions for MPNs.
Test Components and Price
The test costs AED 1730.0 and requires a sample condition of 3 mL (2 mL min.) whole blood from 1 Lavender Top (EDTA) tube. It is important to ship the sample refrigerated and not freeze it. Additionally, a duly filled Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20) is mandatory.
Report Delivery
Sample collection should be done by Monday before 11 am, and the report will be delivered on Saturday.
Method and Test Type
The JAK 2 V617F REFLEX TO JAK 2 EXON 12 MUTATION DETECTION Test utilizes Real Time PCR and Fragment Analysis methods. It falls under the category of Cancer tests and is typically ordered by Oncologists.
Test Department
This test is conducted in the Molecular Diagnostics department of DNA Labs UAE.
Pre-Test Information
Prior to taking the test, it is mandatory to fill out the Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20).
Test Details
The JAK2 V617F mutation is a common genetic mutation found in patients with MPNs such as polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis. This mutation occurs in exon 14 of the JAK2 gene, resulting in the substitution of valine (V) with phenylalanine (F) at position 617.
Another genetic mutation that can occur in MPNs, particularly in patients with polycythemia vera, is the JAK2 exon 12 mutation. This mutation occurs in exon 12 of the JAK2 gene and activates the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, which regulates blood cell production.
The JAK2 V617F reflex to JAK2 exon 12 mutation detection test is designed to detect both the JAK2 V617F mutation and the JAK2 exon 12 mutation in patients suspected of having an MPN. This test is typically performed in patients who have a negative result for the JAK2 V617F mutation but still exhibit signs and symptoms of an MPN.
The test involves analyzing a blood or bone marrow sample to detect the presence of the JAK2 V617F mutation. If the initial test is negative for the V617F mutation, a reflex test is performed to specifically look for the JAK2 exon 12 mutation.
Detecting these mutations can confirm the diagnosis of an MPN and help guide treatment decisions. Patients with these mutations may be eligible for targeted therapies that inhibit the abnormal JAK-STAT signaling pathway, leading to improved outcomes and symptom control.
