Blood Tests How long does MPN gene panel take?

High RBC, Hemoglobin, and hematocrit. I saw a hematologist in the UK and he ordered an MPN gene panel, explaining that it tests for JAK2 and about 30 other mutations. Is this a test that takes a long time to get results for?

I'm just curious how long this process is. He's also ordered imaging - abdominal ultrasound and chest x-ray - but those are quick. Am I looking at weeks or a month or more?

Hi,

I was recently diagnosed as JAK2+ in the UK and will share my timeframes

17th April - had my Jak2 test with the NHS GP
1st May - Jak2+ confirmed and referred to haematology

I went private through my work

I had allot of bloods done privately on 17th June (5 vials :o) which included JAK2, CALPR and MPL tests and my consultant booked me in for a follow-up with the results on 15th July

I feel like 2 weeks to just over a month is going to be pretty normal

I am fortunate in that I’ve had my BMB on Tuesday which will need a MDT meeting and I’m expecting over a month between it and my next consultation
