Understanding Your Blood Health: CALR Mutation Analysis
When you’re facing unexplained symptoms like persistent fatigue, unusual bruising, or abnormal blood test results, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. Our CALR Mutation Analysis is designed specifically to provide the clarity you need about potential blood disorders. This advanced genetic test examines your CALR gene for specific mutations that can indicate myeloproliferative neoplasms – conditions where your bone marrow produces too many blood cells.
What This Test Detects
The CALR Mutation Analysis specifically looks for deletions or insertions in exon 9 of the CALR gene. These genetic changes are strongly associated with essential thrombocythemia and primary myelofibrosis – two types of blood disorders that affect how your body produces blood cells. By identifying these mutations early, we can help your healthcare team develop the most effective treatment plan for your specific condition.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Unexplained fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Easy bruising or bleeding without obvious cause
- Abnormally high platelet counts in blood tests
- Enlarged spleen detected during medical examination
- Family history of blood disorders or myeloproliferative neoplasms
- Unexplained weight loss or night sweats
- Bone pain or discomfort
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying CALR mutations early can significantly impact your treatment outcomes and quality of life. With accurate diagnosis, your healthcare team can:
- Prescribe targeted treatments that address the root cause
- Monitor your condition more effectively
- Reduce the risk of complications like blood clots
- Provide personalised care based on your genetic profile
- Offer peace of mind through clear understanding of your condition
