Test ID: Acute Myeloid Leukemia Panel by FISH
Acute Myeloid Leukemia Panel by FISH
Acute Myeloid Leukemia Panel by FISH
Method name and description

Interphase Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (I-FISH) Study

Clinical information

Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) is a myeloid disorder branded by myeloid cell ancestry. These cells appear as persistent adjusted chromosomal modifications, following the arrangement of novel fusion proteins.

FISH test considers a set of distinctive probes comprising a board of panels to identify the foremost prognostically common and significant chromosomal anomalies, in therapy-related or repetitive AML.

Factors affecting test performance and result interpretation

In expansion to morphology, a few repetitive chromosomal variations from the norm have been connected to subtypes of AML. The foremost common is tried by FISH for chromosome abnormalities related with AML such as, 11q23, inv(16), +8, t(8;21), t(15;17), and t(9;22).Common gene juxtaposed in modification with different other chromosomes.
