MPL Mutation Analysis
Also known as: Myeloproliferative neoplasm, PMF, Essential Thrombocythemia (ET), Polycythemia Vera (PV), ET
Use
Detects mutations in exon 10 of the MPL gene, including the common W515 and S505 codons, which are associated with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) including primary myelofibrosis and essential thrombocythemia. Identification of these mutations assists in differentiating reactive conditions from MPNs.
