Detection of the JAK2 V617F mutation by LightCycler PCR and probe dissociation analysis
Detection of the JAK2 V617F mutation by LightCycler PCR and probe dissociation analysis JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS Lay, M., Mariappan, R., Gotlib, J., Dietz, L., Sebastian, S., Schrijver, I., Zehnder, J. L. 2006; 8 (3): 330-334Abstract
A point mutation in the JAK2 gene, a member of the tyrosine kinase family, was recently identified and shown to be associated with several myeloproliferative disorders. Several studies identified the same JAK2 point mutation (1,849G>T), resulting in the substitution of a valine to phenylalanine at codon 617 (V617F). We developed a simple and sensitive method to detect this mutation via polymerase chain reaction and probe dissociation analysis using the LightCycler platform, and we compared this method to existing restriction fragment-length polymorphism, direct sequencing, and amplification refractory mutation system methods. We found that the LightCycler method offered advantages of speed, reliability, and more straightforward interpretation over the restriction fragment-length polymorphism and sequencing approaches.
