Method Name

Sanger Sequencing

Reporting Name

MPL Exon 10 Mutation Detection, V

Specimen Type

Varies

Specimen Minimum Volume

Blood, Bone marrow: 0.5 mL; Extracted DNA: 50 mcL at 20 ng/mcL concentration

Specimen Stability Information

Specimen Type Temperature Time Special Container
Varies Varies 7 days

Reference Values

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation

The results will be reported as 1 of 2 states:

-Negative for MPL exon 10 variant

-Positive for MPL exon 10 variant

If the result is positive, a description of the variant at the nucleotide level and the altered protein sequence is reported.

 

Positive variant status is highly suggestive of a myeloproliferative neoplasm but must be correlated with clinical and other laboratory features for a definitive diagnosis. Negative variant status does not exclude the presence of a myeloproliferative or other neoplasm.
