Myeloid Gene Mutation Analysis (could also be requested individually or as a MPN - Myeloproliferative Neoplasm - panel) for the following genes:

ASXL1, BRAF, CALR, CBL, CEBPA, CSF3R, CXCR4, DDX41, DNMT3A, ETNK1, EZH2, FBXW7, FLT3, GATA1, GATA2, IDH1, IDH2, JAK2, KIT, KRAS, MPL, MYD88, NOTCH1, NPM1, NRAS, PPM1D, PTEN, RHOA, RUNX1, SETBP1, SF3B1, SRSF2, STAT3, STAT5B, STAT6, TET2, TP53, U2AF1, WT1

The myeloid NGS panel simultaneously detects mutations in 39 genes important for diagnostic, prognostic or therapeutic decisions in myeloid malignancies. 

The MPN Myeloproliferative Neoplasm panel simultaneously detects mutations in 8 genes:

ASXL1, CALR, CSF3R, JAK2, KIT, MPL, IDH1, IDH2

To order, use the Molecular Haematology Request form (pricing included): Molecular Haematology Test Request Form V13.

Any specific FLT3 or NPM1 requests must add test code AFLTNP.

If NPM1 MRD (Minimal Residual Disease) is requested using ANPM1 test code, sample must be received within 48 hours of collection.

For JAK2 exon 14 requests use test code AJAK2, unless JAK2 exon 12 stated then use test code AMYNGS.

Note that some of these genes are also tested using the solid tumour NGS panel for colo-rectal cancer, lung cancer or melanoma.

BLOOD

• A DEDICATED 4 mL EDTA tube must be collected and should not be shared with other tests of the same sample type.
  
  

Instructions for: External Referring Laboratories
