Our comprehensive test menu has been created to aid in diagnosis and treatment selection across the full spectrum of hematologic disorders. We have developed and validated practice-based, data-driven algorithms that improve patient care, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. Our hematology experts continuously drive innovation in laboratory testing, developing new approaches and using new technology to address patient needs they see every day in clinical practice.
“We’re able to collaborate and hopefully contribute to patient care in a significant way, helping to establish standards for patients all over the world that may end up being diagnosed with this disease.”
David Viswanatha, M.D., co-director of the Molecular Hematopathology Laboratory

Mayo Clinic researchers identify a new subtype of MGTS, linked to recurrent blood clots, with significant diagnostic challenges and treatment implications.
In a recent discovery by Mayo Clinic Laboratories, a novel hemoglobinopathy category was identified and termed epsilon gamma thalassemia. The first instance of the disorder was found in 2017 when an obstetric patient underwent a routine screening for blood-related illnesses such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia. Upon completion of additional tests, doctors found an abnormality they had never seen before.
PACE / State of FLIn this month's "Virtual Lecture," Anand Padmanabhan provides a general overview and science in the field related to heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), and monoclonal gammopathy of thrombotic significance (MGTS), and focuses on impacts related to diagnosis for anti-platelet factor 4-mediated thrombotic syndromes.
This conference will provide reviews and updates about the laboratory and clinical aspects of bleeding and thrombosing disorders. Informational presentations will be supplemented with panel discussions and case presentations, followed by time for participant questions.
This conference will provide a comprehensive approach to the evaluation of frequently encountered blood count abnormalities, along with an update on the diagnosis and management of common and rare nonmalignant blood disorders. The conference will also illustrate the practical application of testing algorithms derived from the Mayo Clinic practice, showing how unnecessary, redundant, and costly laboratory tests can be eliminated while maintaining the highest quality medical care.
PACE / State of FLThis month’s “Virtual Lecture” discusses the clinical diagnosis and management, summarizes the testing modalities that guide diagnosis and management, and recognizes the utility of genetic testing as it relates to complement testing in diagnosing and managing thrombotic microangiopathy.
VEXAS syndrome is a severe autoinflammatory disease that results in a spectrum of rheumatologic and hematologic conditions. The underlying cause of newly identified VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome — somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene of blood cells — was discovered at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2020. Within six months, Mayo Clinic Laboratories was able to add a UBA1 test to the MayoComplete panel, as the team simultaneously worked on a single gene assay to allow doctors to test specifically for UBA1 mutations to screen patients for VEXAS syndrome. The team opted for a droplet digital PCR test — a novel and highly accurate approach to testing for UBA1 gene mutations.
Get ready for the 18th Bleeding and Thrombosing Diseases conference! This conference will provide reviews and updates about the laboratory and clinical aspects of bleeding and thrombosing disorders. It will take place Oct. 4–6, 2023, in Rochester, Minnesota.
Taking place on October 3–4, 2023, in Rochester, Minnesota, the Classical Hematology 2023 conference focuses on addressing the evaluation of frequently encountered blood count abnormalities. The conference will also provide the latest updates on the diagnosis and management of common and rare nonmalignant blood disorders.
In this month's "Hot Topic," David Murray, M.D., Ph.D., reviews the role of urine testing for monoclonal gammopathies and discusses Mayo Clinic’s use of MASS-FIX to replace traditional immunofixation testing.
In this test-specific episode of the "Answers From the Lab" podcast, Rong He, M.D., explains how Mayo Clinic Laboratories' IDHQ test improves upon next generation sequencing for assessing AML treatment options.
William Morice II, M.D., Ph.D., CEO and president of Mayo Clinic Laboratories, joins "Answers From the Lab" for his weekly leadership update with host Bobbi Pritt, M.D., interim chair of the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at Mayo Clinic. In this episode, Dr. Pritt and Dr. Morice discuss their new roles at Mayo Clinic and update listeners on the latest legislative news impacting the laboratory and diagnostic industries. They also highlight the launch of MayoComplete, Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ robust suite of oncology and hematology testing that uses next-generation sequencing to identify and evaluate presence of mutations.
Utilizing testing capabilities of two separate laboratory facilities, Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ new serotonin release assay (SRA) is a gold-standard test supported by decades of clinical hematopathologic experience and advanced mass spectrometry testing.
