Introduction
The CLL FISH Panel FISH del(11q) Trisomy 12 del(13q) del(17p) is a vital diagnostic tool used in the evaluation of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). This test identifies specific chromosomal abnormalities that are critical for determining the prognosis and guiding treatment decisions for patients diagnosed with CLL. Understanding these genetic markers allows healthcare providers to tailor treatment strategies to individual patient needs, improving outcomes and quality of life.
What the Test Measures
This test detects several key chromosomal alterations associated with CLL, including:
- Deletion of chromosome 11q (del(11q))
- Trisomy of chromosome 12 (trisomy 12)
- Deletion of chromosome 13q (del(13q))
- Deletion of chromosome 17p (del(17p))
These abnormalities can significantly impact the behavior of the disease and influence treatment options.
Who Should Consider This Test
Patients who exhibit symptoms of CLL, such as:
- Persistent fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Frequent infections
Additionally, individuals with known risk factors for CLL, including family history or previous blood disorders, should consider this test to gain a clearer understanding of their health status.
