All Panel Cytogenetics FISH BCR/ABL TEL/AML1 MLL E2A Test
Introduction
The All Panel Cytogenetics FISH BCR/ABL TEL/AML1 MLL E2A test is an advanced diagnostic tool used to detect specific genetic abnormalities associated with various hematological malignancies, including leukemia and lymphoma. This test employs Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technology, which allows for the visualization of genetic changes at the cellular level, providing critical information for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
What the Test Measures
This comprehensive panel tests for the presence of specific genetic alterations, including:
- BCR/ABL: A fusion gene commonly associated with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
- TEL/AML1: A fusion gene linked to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
- MLL: Abnormalities related to acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
- E2A: Another fusion gene involved in various leukemias.
