Authors' recommendations:
The evidence of moderate methodological quality shows the presence of calreticulin gene mutations associated to a lower risk of thrombotic events in essential thrombocythemia and may be associated to a longer survival in primary myelofribrosis. No evidence has been found on the impact that detecting these mutations may have on the treatment approach. The presence of calreticulin gene mutations was not reported in chronic myeloid leukemia and policythemia vera; therefore, its use is not proposed.
No clinical practice guidelines or health technology assessments mentioning calreticulin gene mutation testing for the management of myeloproliferative neoplasms have been found. Only one coverage policy was found and it does not recommend coverage because it is considered experimental.
