Understanding Your Results

If the JAK2 Mutation Detection Panel (Exons 12) test detects a mutation, it may indicate the presence of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) or polycythemia vera (PV). Further testing, such as a bone marrow biopsy, may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
📊

Positive for JAK2 Exon 12 mutation

Indicates a mutation associated with MPNs or PV. Clinical correlation and additional tests are recommended for confirmation.

📊

Negative for JAK2 Exon 12 mutation

No mutation detected in exon 12 of the JAK2 gene. Does not rule out other causes of symptoms; clinical evaluation is advised.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of MPNs or PV, such as fatigue, shortness of breath, headaches, dizziness, enlarged spleen or liver, excessive sweating, or easy bruising and bleeding. Also, consult if you have a family history of these conditions.

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising or pain at the blood draw site
  • Rare risk of infection or bleeding
