Aiding in the distinction between a reactive cytosis and a myeloproliferative neoplasm when JAK2V617F testing result is negative

 

Evaluates for variants in MPL in an algorithmic process for MPNCM / Myeloproliferative Neoplasm, CALR with Reflex to MPL, Varies.

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

JAK2 V617F variant is present in 95% to 98% of polycythemia vera (PV), and 50% to 60% of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and essential thrombocythemia (ET). Detection of the JAK2 V617F is useful to help establish the diagnosis of a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). However, a negative JAK2 V617F result does not indicate the absence of MPN. Other important molecular markers in BCR-ABL1-negative MPN include CALR exon 9 alterations (20%-30% of PMF and ET) and MPL exon 10 alterations (5%-10% of PMF and 3%-5% of ET). Variants in JAK2, CALR, and MPL are essentially mutually exclusive. A CALR variant is associated with decreased risk of thrombosis in both ET and PMF and confers a favorable clinical outcome in PMF patients. A triple negative (JAK2 V617F, CALR, and MPL-negative) genotype is considered a high-risk molecular signature in PMF.

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Only orderable as a reflex. For more information see MPNCM / Myeloproliferative Neoplasm, CALR with Reflex to MPL, Varies.

 

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

The results will be reported as 1 of the 3 following states:

-Positive for CALR variant

-Positive for MPL variant

-Negative for CALR and MPL variants

 

Positive variant status is highly suggestive of a myeloid neoplasm and clinicopathologic correlation is necessary in all cases.

 

Negative variant status does not exclude the presence of a myeloproliferative neoplasm or other neoplasms.

Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

A positive result is not specific for a particular subtype of myeloproliferative neoplasm and clinicopathologic correlation is necessary in all cases.

 

A negative result does not exclude the presence of a myeloproliferative neoplasm or other neoplastic process.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

Genomic DNA was extracted and Sanger sequencing used to evaluate for alterations in MPL, exon 10. The sensitivity of this assay is approximately 20%, such that samples containing lower percentages of mutated DNA will appear negative.(Unpublished Mayo method)

PDF Report

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.

Monday through Friday

Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.

7 to 10 days

Specimen Retention Time
Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded

DNA 3 months

Performing Laboratory Location
Indicates the location of the laboratory that performs the test

Test Classification
Provides information regarding the medical device classification for laboratory test kits and reagents. Tests may be classified as cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and used per manufacturer instructions, or as products that do not undergo full FDA review and approval, and are then labeled as an Analyte Specific Reagent (ASR) product.

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Mayo Clinic in a manner consistent with CLIA requirements. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.

CPT Code Information
Provides guidance in determining the appropriate Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code(s) information for each test or profile. The listed CPT codes reflect Mayo Clinic Laboratories interpretation of CPT coding requirements. It is the responsibility of each laboratory to determine correct CPT codes to use for billing.

CPT codes are provided by the performing laboratory.
