FISH, ALL, Extended Panel
Test Code
Clinical Significance
FISH, ALL, Extended Panel - This panel uses fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect an extended set of common genetic abnormalities associated with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and may aid in risk stratification and treatment decisions. These genetic abnormalities include the following: MYC rearrangement, the CDKN2A deletion, IGH rearrangement, TCF3 (E2A) rearrangement resulting from the t(1;19)(q23;p13) translocation, the BCR/ABL1 fusion gene resulting from the t(9;22)(q34;q11.2) translocation, the ETV6/RUNX1 (TEL/AML1) fusion ...
