FOXO1 Break Apart FISH Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma Diagnostic
Introduction
The FOXO1 Break Apart FISH Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma Diagnostic is a specialized test designed to detect genetic abnormalities associated with Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS), a rare and aggressive form of cancer that primarily affects children. This test utilizes Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technology to identify the presence of FOXO1 gene rearrangements, which are crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
What the Test Measures
This diagnostic test specifically measures the rearrangement of the FOXO1 gene within tumor tissue samples. By analyzing paraffin embedded tissue blocks, the test provides insights into the genetic makeup of the tumor, aiding in the identification of ARMS.
