Detection of point mutation (G to T mutation in exon 12 resulting in the V to F amino acid change at position 617) of the human JAK2 gene. This mutation is associated with myeloproliferative disorders.

 

  
EDTA whole blood
  
  
3.0 mL
  
  • Only ONE (1) tube needs to be drawn for any combination of the following tests:
    • Calreticulin Exon 9 Assay
    • Factor V Leiden Mutation
    • Factor 2 Mutation
    • Hereditary Hemochromatosis
    • JAK2 V617F Mutation Detection
    • MTHFR C677T assay
  • Immediatley following collection, mix sample by inverting 8 - 10 times to prevent clotting.
