01

Start with fit

Is this the right test for you?

The best test starts with a clear clinical question. These are common reasons a clinician or family may consider this test.

  • ✓Diagnosis of suspected myeloproliferative neoplasms.
  • ✓Identification of specific mutations to guide treatment.
  • ✓Prognosis assessment in diagnosed MPN cases.
  • ✓Monitoring for minimal residual disease (Confirm with the laboratory before booking).
  • ✓Patients with unexplained blood count abnormalities.
  • ✓Family history of blood disorders (Confirm with the laboratory before booking).

In plain language

What this test helps you understand

This test helps identify genetic mutations associated with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), aiding in diagnosis, prognosis, and guiding treatment decisions for conditions like leukemia.
The Oncomine Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN) Panel Test is a diagnostic tool used to identify specific genetic mutations linked to myeloproliferative neoplasms. These are conditions where the bone marrow produces too many blood cells. This test helps healthcare providers understand the underlying genetic changes driving the disease.

This comprehensive panel looks for mutations in several key genes, including ABL1, ASXL1, CBL, CALR, DNMT3A, EZH2, ETV6, FLT3, IDH1, IDH2, IKZF1, JAK2, KIT, MPL, NPM1, NRAS, NF1, RUNX1, SF3B1, SRSF2, SH2B3, STAG2, TET2, TP53, U2AF1, ZRSR2, and specific fusion genes like ETV6, JAK2, KMT2A, and RUNX1. Identifying these mutations can provide valuable information about the specific type of MPN, potential prognosis, and guide treatment decisions.

Understanding the genetic profile of an MPN can lead to more personalized and effective treatment strategies. This test is often used by hematologists and oncologists to refine diagnoses and select targeted therapies.

PreparationNo specific patient preparation is required. Ensure the sample collection tube is correctly labelled.
Sample3 mL (2 mL minimum) of whole blood or bone marrow collected in a lavender top (EDTA) tube.
MethodologyNext-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is used to detect mutations and fusion genes in the specified genes.
PrivacyYour sample and report are handled confidentially. Ask the team how your information is stored and shared.
This test detects specific mutations within the genes listed. It may not detect all possible genetic alterations associated with MPNs. Results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings and other laboratory tests. Confirm with the laboratory before booking.

Questions people ask

Frequently asked questions

MPNs are a group of blood cancers where the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets.
Genetic testing helps identify specific mutations that drive the disease, which can guide treatment choices and provide prognostic information.
A sample of whole blood or bone marrow collected in a specific type of tube (lavender top/EDTA) is required.
