Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia CLL Prognostic Panel Test
Introduction
The Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Prognostic Panel Test is a specialized diagnostic tool that evaluates genetic markers associated with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. This test is vital for determining the prognosis of patients diagnosed with CLL, allowing healthcare providers to tailor treatment plans effectively. Understanding the genetic landscape of CLL can significantly impact patient outcomes, making this test an essential component of comprehensive cancer care.
What the Test Measures
The CLL Prognostic Panel Test measures several critical genetic components, including:

- IGVH
- del11q23 (ATM)
- del17p13.1 (TP53)
- del13q14.3
- del13q34
- Trisomy 12
These markers are assessed using advanced techniques such as PCR Sequencing, FISH, and Flow Cytometry, providing a comprehensive overview of the genetic factors influencing CLL.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is recommended for individuals diagnosed with CLL, particularly those exhibiting symptoms such as:
