MM Panel Cytogenetics FISH Test
Introduction to the Test
The MM Panel Cytogenetics FISH test is a vital diagnostic tool used to identify specific genetic abnormalities associated with multiple myeloma and other hematological malignancies. This test employs advanced techniques such as cell culture and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to provide accurate results, essential for effective treatment planning.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects chromosomal abnormalities including deletions at 11q, 13q, and 17p, as well as the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) rearrangement. Identifying these anomalies is crucial for determining the prognosis and therapeutic approach for patients.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals exhibiting symptoms of blood disorders such as unexplained anemia, recurrent infections, or bone pain should consider this test. Additionally, those with risk factors including family history of hematological cancers or previous diagnoses of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) are encouraged to undergo testing.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Provides critical information for the diagnosis of hematological malignancies.
- Guides treatment decisions and helps in monitoring disease progression.
- Enables personalized medicine approaches based on genetic findings.
