Erythrocytosis Summary Interpretation
Use
The test is useful for incorporating and summarizing subsequent results into an overall interpretation for the REVE2 / Erythrocytosis Evaluation, Blood. The etiology of congenital (inherited) erythrocytosis can be due to several abnormalities like high oxygen affinity hemoglobin variants, genetic variants in the erythropoietin receptor gene, and genetic variants in the oxygen-sensing pathway (PHD2/EGLN1, HIF2A/EPAS1, VHL) or BPGM variants causing 2,3-BPG deficiency. A summary interpretation that incorporates all testing performed is beneficial to the ordering clinician.
Special Instructions
Only orderable as a reflex test; this test is added as a consultative interpretation when one or more molecular tests are added to the REVE2 / Erythrocytosis Evaluation, Blood. It summarizes the testing performed as well as any pertinent clinical information.
Limitations
No significant cautionary statements were provided. However, the summary is provided after additional testing is complete to incorporate all subsequent results into an overall evaluation. Therefore, it's essential for proper test selection and specimen handling to ensure accurate results.
