Understanding Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN) Reflex Panel [NGS] in Mumbai
What is Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN) Reflex Panel [NGS] in Mumbai?
The Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN) reflex panel [NGS] is a comprehensive genetic test used to diagnose and classify various myeloproliferative neoplasms. This panel combines multiple molecular assays to detect mutations in genes associated with MPNs.
This test helps identify mutations in the JAK2 gene, MPL gene and CALR gene in a sequential manner. If the JAK2 sequencing comes back negative, the test detects mutations in the MPL gene. Furthermore, if both JAK2 and MPL sequencing are negative, the test detects CALR gene mutations.
By analyzing these specific genetic regions, the MPN reflex panel provides valuable information for accurate diagnosis and classification of MPNs, such as essential thrombocythemia, polycythemia vera, and primary myelofibrosis. This comprehensive approach enhances the efficiency and accuracy of genetic testing for MPNs, facilitating appropriate treatment decisions and patient management.
