Cautions

A positive result is not specific for a particular subtype of myeloproliferative neoplasm and clinicopathologic correlation is necessary in all cases. If this test is ordered in the setting of erythrocytosis and suspicion of polycythemia vera, interpretation requires correlation with a concurrent or recent prior bone marrow evaluation.

 

A negative result does not exclude the presence of a myeloproliferative neoplasm or other neoplastic process.

 

In rare cases, a variant other than JAK2 V617F may be present in an area that interferes with primer or probe binding and cause a false-negative result.
