Performing Laboratory

NeoGenomics Laboratory

Useful For

Detection of JAK2 that encodes for a protein tyrosine kinase involved in activated signaling.  Genomic DNA is isolated from bone marrow aspirates or peripheral blood and the DNA sequences of JAK2 exons 12-13 are determined using next generation sequencing technology.

Methodology

Amplicon-based, next generation sequencing (NGS)
