Collection

Submit at room temperature. Specimen should arrive at the testing laboratory within 48 hours of collection. Indicate the date and time of collection on the test request form.

Storage Instructions

Ship at room temperature. If specimen is to be stored prior to shipment, store at 2°C to 8°C.

Causes for Rejection

Specimen does not meet collection criteria; frozen whole blood, marrow, or cell pellet; leaking tube; clotted blood or marrow; grossly hemolyzed specimen or otherwise visibly degraded; contamination by another specimen; specimens containing suspicious foreign material.

Use

The quantitative real-time PCR assay detects V617F mutation (c.1849 G>T) observed in approximately 95% polycythemia vera (pv), 55% essential thrombocythemia (ET), and 55% primary myelofibrosis (PMF). It is also infrequently present (3% to 5%) in myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, and other atypical chronic myeloid disorders.

Limitations

This assay detects only the JAK2V617F point mutation. Other mutations that may occur in the JAK2 gene will not be detected. In vitro studies have indicated that this assay has an analytical sensitivity of 1%. This test was developed, and its performance characteristics determined, by LabCorp.

What is the JAK2V617F mutation?

The JAK2V617F (exon 14) mutation analysis can be used in conjunction with bone marrow histology and cytogenetic analysis to assist in the diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). The JAK2V617F mutation is found in almost all patients with polycythemia vera (PV) and in nearly one-half of those with idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF) and with essential thrombocythemia (ET). A small percentage (~3.3%) of JAK2 mutation positive patients contain other non- V617F mutation with exon 12 to 15.

How sensitive is the JAK2 assay?

This assay has a sensitivity of approximately 1% for the detection of cells containing the JAK2 mutations and 15% for JAK2 exon 12 to 15 and 5% for CALR mutations, 10% to 20% for MPL mutations in a background of non-mutant cells.

What is the Janus kinase 2 gene?

The Janus kinase 2 gene ( JAK2) codes for a tyrosine kinase (JAK2) that is associated with the cytoplasmic portion of a variety of transmembrane cytokine and growth factor receptors important for signal transduction in hematopoietic cells. Signaling via JAK2 activation causes phosphorylation of downstream signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) proteins (eg, STAT5) ultimately leading to cell growth and differentiation. BCR-ABL1 -negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) frequently harbor an acquired single nucleotide variant in JAK2 characterized as c.G1849T; p. Val617Phe (V617F). This variant is identified overall in approximately two-thirds of all MPN, (1-3) but the prevalence varies by MPN subtype. The JAK2 V617F variant is present in 95% to 98% of polycythemia vera patients, 50% to 60% of primary myelofibrosis patients, and 50% to 60% of essential thrombocythemia patients. It has also been described infrequently in other myeloid neoplasms, including chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. (4) This variant is not seen in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) or in reactive conditions with elevated blood counts. Detection of the JAK2 V617F variant is useful to help establish the diagnosis of MPN. However, a negative JAK2 V617F result does not indicate absence of a MPN. Other important molecular markers in BCR-ABL1 -negative MPN include CALR exon 9 variant (20%-30% of PMF and ET) and MPL exon 10 variant (5%-10% of PMF and 3%-5% of ET). (5-9) Variants in JAK2, CALR, and MPL are essentially mutually exclusive.
