This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained high red blood cell counts, abnormal platelet levels, or enlarged spleen. It helps identify specific blood disorders called myeloproliferative neoplasms, which cause your bone marrow to produce too many blood cells. Many people use this test when their doctor suspects conditions like polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia based on routine blood work abnormalities.
This specialized genetic test analyzes your white blood cells or bone marrow for a specific mutation at codon 617 of the JAK2 gene. This mutation is strongly associated with myeloproliferative neoplasms, which are blood disorders that cause abnormal production of blood cells. Detecting this mutation helps doctors diagnose conditions like polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis, and guides appropriate treatment decisions.
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your genetic test results mean and whether the JAK2 mutation was detected. These notes include personalized guidance on next steps, whether that's monitoring your blood counts more closely, discussing treatment options with a hematologist, or understanding what this means for your long-term health. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your results over time if you need follow-up testing.
What this means
Your test came back negative, meaning the JAK2 V617F mutation was not detected in your blood sample. This is the expected result for most people and may help rule out certain myeloproliferative disorders, though your doctor may recommend additional testing if symptoms persist.
Recommended actions
Continue monitoring your blood counts with regular check-ups as recommended by your doctor
Discuss any persistent symptoms like fatigue, headaches, or unusual blood work findings with your healthcare provider
Consider additional genetic testing if your doctor suspects other mutations may be present
Maintain healthy lifestyle habits including regular exercise and a balanced diet to support overall blood health
