We are proud to announce new NGS assays for the MPN-associated biomarkers (JAK2, CALR, and MPL) that is now available as of today, Monday, October 13, 2025.

  • The NGS assays will immediately replace the current tests that are performed by PCR, bi-directional sequencing and/or fragment length analysis (FLA). See below table.
    • Orders of the old tests will be automatically accessioned for the new tests.
  • Benefits
    • Lower Limit of Detection: 1% for JAK2 V617F, 2% for all others
    • More exon coverage on JAK2 gene
    • Faster TAT: 7 days for all tests
  • Test names will change to reflect the change in methodology and accurately describe the scope of JAK2 testing. The updates are highlighted in bold in the table.
  • CPT codes and pricing will remain the same.
  • NYS Approval: The NGS versions will not be NYSDOH-approved by launch date. NYS orders will be processed with the old methodology until approval is received for the NGS assays.
  • For Interface Clients: This test update will involve a change in test names and codes. Please refer to the Interface Updates section for more info.
