The JAK2 mutation test may be used, along with other tests such as CALR mutation and MPL mutation testing, to help diagnose bone marrow disorders that lead to the production of too many blood cells. These disorders are known as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).The JAK2 mutation test is typically ordered as a follow-up test if a person has a significantly increased hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cells and/or platelet count and the healthcare practitioner suspects that the person may have an MPN, especially polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), or primary myelofibrosis (PMF).The primary genetic test for JAK2 mutations that lead to MPNs is JAK2 V617F, named for a mutation at a specific location in the JAK2 gene. It is typically ordered first. If it is negative, then tests for other mutations in the JAK2 gene that are also associated with MPNs, such as JAK2 exon 12, may be used to help make a diagnosis.
