JAK2 Mutation PCR Test | Lahalak Platform
Advanced genetic analysis to detect mutations causing bone marrow disorders, aiding in the precise diagnosis of polycythemia vera and myelofibrosis to guide effective treatment.
Scientific name: JAK2 Mutation Detection by PCR
A molecular assay using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to detect a specific point mutation in the Janus Kinase 2 (JAK2) gene, namely the V617F mutation (valine to phenylalanine substitution at position 617) and associated mutations in exon 12 such as G1849T. This mutation causes the JAK2 enzyme to be in a state of permanent activatio...

Medical Service Information
Conditions & Notices
- Fasting is not required before drawing a blood sample.
- The required sample is whole blood containing an anticoagulant (EDTA), from which DNA is extracted.
