01

Start with fit

Is this the right test for you?

The best test starts with a clear clinical question. These are common reasons a clinician or family may consider this test.

  • ✓Suspected diagnosis of CMML
  • ✓Patients exhibiting symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, frequent infections, or easy bruising
  • ✓Family history of leukemia or related blood disorders
  • ✓Prognosis assessment in CMML patients
  • ✓Guiding treatment strategies based on genetic findings

In plain language

What this test helps you understand

This test helps identify specific genetic mutations associated with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML), aiding in diagnosis, prognosis, and guiding treatment decisions.
The Oncomine Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) Panel Test is a molecular diagnostic tool used to identify genetic mutations related to CMML, a type of leukemia. This test helps in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning for patients suspected of having CMML.

This comprehensive panel analyzes various genes associated with CMML, including ABL1, ASXL1, BCOR, CBL, CSF3R, CALR, DNMT3A, ETV6, EZH2, FLT3, GATA2, HRAS, IDH1, IDH2, JAK2, KIT, KRAS, MPL, NF1, NPM1, NRAS, PHF6, PTPN11, RUNX1, SETBP1, SF3B1, SRSF2, STAG2, SH2B3, TET2, TP53, U2AF1, and ZRSF2. It also detects specific fusion genes like ABL1, ETV6, JAK2, KMT2A, and RUNX1, which are important for understanding the specific type of leukemia.

This test is recommended for individuals exhibiting symptoms potentially related to CMML, such as persistent fatigue, unexplained weight loss, frequent infections, or easy bruising or bleeding. Individuals with a family history of leukemia or other blood disorders may also consider this testing.

Benefits of this test include early and accurate diagnosis, identification of mutations to guide treatment, a better understanding of prognosis, and support for informed decision-making regarding therapy.

Results will provide insights into the genetic mutations present. A healthcare professional will interpret these results and discuss their implications for your treatment and management.

Questions people ask

Frequently asked questions

Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It is a myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm, meaning it has features of both conditions.
Identifying specific genetic mutations in CMML can help doctors confirm the diagnosis, predict the likely course of the disease (prognosis), and choose the most effective treatment options.
Typically, a blood sample or a bone marrow sample is required. Please confirm the exact specimen requirements with the laboratory before your appointment.
Turnaround time can vary. Please contact the laboratory directly for the most current estimated turnaround time for this test.
Insurance coverage varies. It is best to check with your insurance provider regarding coverage for genetic testing panels like this one.
A qualified healthcare professional, such as a haematologist or oncologist, will interpret the results in the context of your overall health and medical history.
