Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of MPL S505N and W515L mutations. Clinical correlation with symptoms and other tests is essential for diagnosis.
Positive result: Detection of MPL S505N or W515L mutation suggests association with myeloproliferative leukemia.
Negative result: No mutation detected, but does not rule out other causes; further evaluation may be needed.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, or enlarged spleen, or if test results are positive for mutations.

Risks & Considerations
