HelpOrderable Name REVE2 Erythrocytosis Evaluation, Blood
Ordering Guidance
Polycythemia vera and acquired causes of erythrocytosis should be excluded before ordering this evaluation.
Necessary Information
Send the following information with the specimen:
-Recent transfusion information
-Most recent complete blood cell count (CBC) results and serum erythropoietin (EPO) levels, if known
Metabolic Hematology Patient Information (T810) is strongly recommended and should include clinical and family history, CBC results, EPO levels, and JAK2 testing results, if known. Testing may proceed without this information; however, it allows for a more complete interpretation.
Specimen Required
Container/Tube:
Preferred: Lavender top (EDTA)
Acceptable: Yellow top (ACD solution B), green top (sodium heparin)
Specimen Volume: 5 mL
Collection Instructions: Send whole blood specimen in original tube. Do not aliquot.
Forms
1. New York Clients-Informed consent is required. Document on the request form or electronic order that a copy is on file. The following documents are available:
-Informed Consent for Genetic Testing (T576)
-Informed Consent for Genetic Testing-Spanish (T826)
2. Metabolic Hematology Patient Information (T810)
3. If not ordering electronically, complete, print, and send a Benign Hematology Test Request (T755) with the specimen.
Useful For
Definitive, comprehensive, and economic evaluation of an individual with JAK2-negative erythrocytosis associated with lifelong sustained increased hemoglobin or hematocrit

Testing Algorithm
This is a consultative evaluation in which the case will be evaluated at Mayo Clinic Laboratories, the appropriate tests will be performed at an additional charge, and the results interpreted.
This profile evaluates for hereditary (congenital) causes of erythrocytosis. Symptoms should be long-standing or familial in nature. All cases will be tested for hemoglobin variants (cation exchange high performance liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and mass spectrometry) with an interpretative report. Additional testing is guided in a reflexive manner and may include molecular testing of the HBA1/HBA2, HBB, EPOR, VHL, EGLN1(PHD2), EPAS1(HIF2a), and BPGM genes, among others, as appropriate. For more information see Erythrocytosis Evaluation Testing Algorithm.
If any of the following molecular tests are performed, an additional consultative interpretation that summarizes all testing will be provided to incorporate subsequent results into an overall evaluation:
-ATHAL / Alpha-Globin Gene Analysis, Varies
-WASQR / Alpha -Globin Gene Sequencing, Blood
-WBSQR / Beta-Globin Gene Sequencing, Blood
-WBDDR / Beta-Globin Cluster Locus Deletion/Duplication, Blood
-WGSQR / Gamma-Globin Full Gene Sequencing, Varies
Additional reflex tests are performed if the hemoglobin testing does not explain the patient's phenotype/hereditary erythrocytosis. Each of the following reflex tests contains an individual interpretative report.
-BPGMM / 2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate Mutase, Full Gene Sequencing Analysis, Varies
-HEMP / Hereditary Erythrocytosis Mutations, Whole Blood
-VHLE / VHL Gene, Erythrocytosis, Mutation Analysis, Varies
