Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic JAK2 gene mutations. A positive result confirms genetic predisposition to familial thrombocytosis, while a negative result suggests no detectable mutation in the JAK2 gene.
📊

Positive for JAK2 Mutation

Confirms diagnosis of JAK2-related thrombocytosis. Consult a hematologist for management and family screening.

📊

Negative for JAK2 Mutation

No JAK2 mutation detected. Consider other genetic or non-genetic causes of thrombocytosis.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of thrombocytosis, have a family history of the disorder, or receive a positive test result for further evaluation and management.

Limitations

  • This test detects only JAK2 gene mutations; other genetic causes of thrombocytosis may not be identified
  • Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings and family history
  • False negatives or positives are possible but rare with NGS technology

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as slight pain or bruising
  • No significant risks associated with the genetic test itself

Interfering Factors

  • Contaminated or degraded DNA samples
  • Recent blood transfusions affecting DNA integrity
  • Improper sample storage or handling

Frequently Asked Questions

What is JAK2 Gene Thrombocytosis?
JAK2 gene thrombocytosis is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the JAK2 gene, leading to overproduction of platelets and increased risk of blood clots.
What are the symptoms of JAK2 gene thrombocytosis?
Common symptoms include fatigue, weakness, headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, blurred vision, numbness or tingling in hands or feet, and easy bruising or bleeding.
How is JAK2 gene thrombocytosis diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves physical examination, blood tests, and advanced genetic testing like NGS to detect JAK2 mutations.
What is NGS Genetic Testing?
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a high-throughput technology that analyzes DNA sequences to identify genetic mutations accurately.
What is the cost of the JAK2 NGS test at DNA Labs India?
The test costs INR 20,000, with free home sample collection available across India.
