Abstract

JAK2 V617F mutational status is an essential diagnostic index in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Although widely used for detection of JAK2 V617F mutation in peripheral blood (PB), sensitive real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) presents some methodological limitations. Recently, emerging alternative technologies, like digital droplet PCR (ddPCR), have been reported to overcome some of qPCR’s technical drawbacks. The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic utility of ddPCR to qPCR for JAK2 V617F detection and quantification in samples from MPNs patients. Sensitivity and specificity of qPCR and ddPCR in the detection of the mutation were assessed by using a calibrator panel of mutated DNA on 195 JAK2 positive MPN samples. Based on our results, ddPCR proved to be a suitable, precise, and sensitive method for detection and quantification of the JAK2 V617F mutation.
