FISH CLL Panel Test
Introduction to the FISH CLL Panel Test
The FISH CLL Panel Test, or Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization test, is an essential diagnostic tool for evaluating genetic abnormalities in patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). This test plays a critical role in cancer diagnosis and treatment planning, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions based on the genetic profile of the leukemia.
What the Test Measures
The FISH CLL Panel Test detects specific chromosomal abnormalities commonly associated with CLL, including:
- del11q23 (ATM)
- del17p13.1 (TP53)
- del13q14.3
- del13q34
- trisomy 12
- IGH Gene breakapart
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is recommended for individuals diagnosed with CLL or those exhibiting symptoms such as:
- Unexplained fatigue
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Frequent infections
- Unexplained weight loss
Additionally, patients with a family history of leukemia or those at higher risk due to genetic factors should also consider this test.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Undergoing the FISH CLL Panel Test offers several advantages, including:
- Accurate identification of genetic mutations that influence treatment decisions.
- Guidance on prognosis and potential treatment outcomes.
- Personalized treatment plans tailored to the genetic makeup of the leukemia.
- Enhanced monitoring of disease progression and response to therapy.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the FISH CLL Panel Test will indicate the presence or absence of specific genetic abnormalities. It is essential to discuss these results with your oncologist or hematologist, who can provide insights into what the findings mean for your treatment plan and overall prognosis.
