Test ID: MPNCM    
Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN), CALR with Reflex to MPL

Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

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

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 test reflexively evaluates for mutations in the CALR and MPL genes commonly associated with BCR/ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms. The testing sequence is based on the reported frequency of gene mutations in this disease group. It is usually ordered when a JAK2 V617F result is known to be negative. Initial testing evaluates for the presence of the CALR indels. If out-of-frame CALR indels are detected, the testing algorithm ends. If the CALR result is negative or an in-frame CALR indel is identified, then testing proceeds, at an additional charge, to evaluate for mutations in exon 10 of the MPL gene by Sanger sequencing. An integrated report is issued with the summary of test results.
