Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed or clotted blood sample
- Insufficient sample volume
- Improper labeling
- Sample received after prolonged transit time
Understanding Your Results
JAK2 V617F Positive
Indicates presence of JAK2 mutation, commonly associated with myeloproliferative neoplasms and some AML cases. May guide targeted therapy.
JAK2 Exon 12 Positive
Rare mutation, also associated with myeloproliferative disorders. Clinical significance similar to V617F.
No JAK2 Mutation Detected
No mutation in JAK2 gene found. Other genetic causes should be considered.
Consult your oncologist if you experience persistent fatigue, unexplained fever, easy bruising, or abnormal blood counts. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
Limitations
- ⚠NGS may not detect very large deletions or rearrangements
- ⚠Mutations in genes not covered by the panel will not be identified
- ⚠Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical and pathological findings
- ⚠Low-level mutations may be below detection limit
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk of bleeding or bruising at the puncture site
- ●Slight dizziness or fainting during blood draw
Interfering Factors
- ●Clotted or hemolyzed blood samples may affect DNA quality
- ●Insufficient DNA quantity or quality
- ●Recent blood transfusion may dilute patient's cells
- ●Contamination during sample collection

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Comparison | JAK2 Gene Leukemia, acute myelogenous NGS Genetic Test | Targeted PCR detects only V617F mutation, while NGS covers multiple exons and other genes. | PCR for exon 12 only, less comprehensive than NGS. | Invasive procedure, provides morphological and genetic information, but NGS is non-invasive and more sensitive. |
