JAK2 Exon 12, 13, 14 and 15 Mutation Analysis by NGS
Use
Molecular testing of blood or bone marrow is useful in the evaluation of suspected myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). This test will assess mutations in JAK2 exons 12, 13, 14 and 15.
Special Instructions
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Labcorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Limitations
This assay exhibits a sensitivity of approximately 1% VAF for the JAK2 V617F mutation and 2.5% VAF for other mutations within JAK2 exons 12 to 15. Deletions up to 6 bp and insertions up to 34 bp in JAK2 have been identified in validation studies. The test's reliability in identifying mutations beyond these parameters has not been established.
