Clinical Significance

FISH, Myeloma, Chromosomes CEP 9, 11, 15 - Plasma Cell Myeloma (PCM) is characterized by the proliferation of malignant monoclonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. Hyperdiploidy with gains of odd numbered chromosomes, including 9, 11, and 15, has been associated with a more favorable outcome in myeloma patients. This test replaces FISH, Multiple Myeloma (5, 9, 15), which is no longer available.
