Acute Myeloid Leukemia AML Cytogenetics Panel Test
Introduction
The Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Cytogenetics Panel Test is a vital diagnostic tool that plays a crucial role in the evaluation and management of acute myeloid leukemia. This test helps identify specific chromosomal abnormalities that can influence treatment decisions and prognostic outcomes. Understanding these genetic markers is essential for hematologists in tailoring effective treatment plans for their patients.
What the Test Measures
This test detects various chromosomal abnormalities associated with acute myeloid leukemia, including:
- t(8;21) or LSI ETO/AML1
- inv(16)(p13q22) or t(16;16)(p13;q22) or CBFB
- t(15;17) or LSI PML/RARA
- t(variable;11q23); MLL gene breakapart
- Chromosome analysis for hematological malignancy
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly recommended for individuals exhibiting symptoms of acute myeloid leukemia, such as:
- Unexplained fatigue
- Frequent infections
- Easy bruising or bleeding
- Unexplained weight loss
Additionally, those with risk factors such as age, previous chemotherapy, or exposure to certain chemicals should discuss this test with their healthcare provider.
