Reflex Tests Lists tests that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial tests.

Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

This reflex test sequentially evaluates for the common major gene mutations associated with non-BCR-ABL1-positive myeloproliferative neoplasms until a mutation is identified. The testing sequence is based on the reported frequency of gene mutations in this disease group. Initial testing evaluates for the presence of the JAK2 V617F mutation. If this result is negative or very low positive (0.06%-0.6%), testing proceeds with assessment for CALR mutations. If the CALR result is also negative, then testing proceeds to evaluate for mutations in exon 10 of the MPL gene. If either JAK2 V617F (>0.6%) or CALR mutations are detected in the process, the testing algorithm ends; therefore, the complete reflex is followed only in the event of sequential negative mutation. An integrated report is issued with the summary of test results.
