Introduction to the Test
The Fish Monosomy 7 del7q31 for AML MDS Test is a specialized diagnostic tool that plays a crucial role in the evaluation of patients suspected of having acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). This test specifically detects chromosomal abnormalities, particularly monosomy 7 and deletion at 7q31, which are significant indicators of these hematological malignancies.
What the Test Measures
This test utilizes Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) methodology to identify the presence of monosomy 7 and the deletion of the 7q31 chromosome region. These chromosomal changes are often associated with poorer prognosis in patients with AML and MDS, making this test vital for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Additionally, individuals with risk factors including a family history of blood disorders or previous exposure to certain chemicals or radiation may also benefit from testing.
