Interpretation

The results will be reported as 1 of the 2 states:

-Negative for JAK2 V617F variant

-Positive for JAK2 V617F variant

 

Positive variant status is highly suggestive of a myeloid neoplasm but must be correlated with clinical and other laboratory features for definitive diagnosis.

 

Negative variant status does not exclude the presence of a myeloproliferative neoplasm or other neoplasm.

 

Results below the laboratory cutoff for positivity are of unclear clinical significance at this time.
