Leukemia panel by FISH - CLL
51+ booked in last 3 daysOverview
Leukemia also known as blood cancer occurs due to abnormal growth and mutations of the white blood cells. This mutation majorly occurs in the bone marrow, but may be seen in the peripheral blood as well. Leukemia cells majorly behave like abnormal WBCs or platelets. Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is the type of leukemias associated with bone marrow that occurs mostly in adults and progresses slowly. If not treated early, the prognosis can be poor. Most cases of CLL are associated with genetic mutations. The Leukemia CLL panel uses FISH for genotypic and cytogenetic studies of lymphocytic cells. This helps in further treatment of CLL.

- The panel helps monitor response to therapy with specific probes (CHR FISHI) or progression of disease.
- FISH cytogenetic testing is indicated as an initial evaluation for patients suspected to have Leukemia and then, if positive for a specific marker, for monitoring disease status
This test requires bone marrow sample along with whole blood smear. A small incision is made on the skin, and a hollow needle is inserted from the bone up to the bone marrow to collect the bone marrow sample. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the sample is collected in vacutainer.
Medical history / Heamato-pathological reports is required.
Normal Result indicates no evidence of translocation or rearrangements involving the chromosomal patterns.
Positive results indicate that abnormality has been identified.
Unfavourable outcomes are deletion 17p, followed by deletion 11q trisomy 12, deletion 6q.
Favourable outcome is deletion 13q Based on the results, the prognosis can be determined.
