JAK2-Exon 12 Mutational Analysis

Indication

Although most cases of polycythemia vera (PV) has the p.V617F activating mutation in the JAK2 tyrosine kinase, a small proportion of PV cases may have mutations (usually deletions) in exon 12.

Methodology

PCR-based Sanger sequencing of DNA is performed to examine mutational status of exon 12 of JAK2.

Test Parameters

Tumor clones must comprise at least 20% of the cells in the sample for accurate assessment.

Turnaround Time

10 days

Sample Requirements

  or
  
• 4-10 unstained tissue sections on glass slides along with 1 H&E-stained sections.

Please provide a copy of the corresponding pathology report.
