What is the maximum days the report can be obtained for the test

The maximum days the report can be obtained for the test Inv(16) t(16;16) (p13.1;q22) Test By FISH is typically 7-14 days. This timeframe allows for the necessary sample processing, analysis, and interpretation of results by the laboratory staff.

What are the prerequisites for the test Inv(16) t(16;16) (p13.1;q22) Test By FISH

  • Specimen: Bone marrow aspirate or peripheral blood specimen in sodium heparin
  • Container: Green top (sodium heparin) tube
  • Minimum Volume: 2 mL
  • Storage Instructions: Maintain specimen at room temperature
  • Stability: Stable for 72 hours at room temperature
  • Rejection Criteria: Clotted specimen, frozen specimen, improper container

What are the measure values for the test Inv(16) t(16;16) (p13.1;q22) Test By FISH

Test Name Measure Values
Inv(16) t(16;16) (p13.1;q22) Test By FISH
  • Chromosome 16: Inversion at p13.1
  • Chromosome 16: Translocation with chromosome 16 at q22

What does this test Inv(16) t(16;16) (p13.1;q22) Test By FISH identify?

  1. Inv(16): This test identifies an inversion of chromosome 16, meaning that a portion of the chromosome has been flipped in orientation.
  2. t(16;16): This test identifies a translocation between chromosome 16 and another chromosome 16, indicating an exchange of genetic material between the two chromosomes.
  3. (p13.1;q22): This test specifies the breakpoints on chromosome 16 where the abnormalities are located. The p13.1 and q22 refer to the short (p) and long (q) arms of chromosome 16 and the specific regions where the translocation or inversion has occurred.

Why is this test Inv(16) t(16;16) (p13.1;q22) Test By FISH taken?

Reason for Taking Inv(16) t(16;16) (p13.1;q22) Test By FISH:

The Inv(16) t(16;16) (p13.1;q22) Test By FISH is taken to detect a specific chromosomal abnormality known as inversion 16 in the chromosome 16. This test is important in diagnosing certain types of leukemia, specifically acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

The FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) technique is used in this test to visualize and detect the inversion of chromosome 16. This abnormality can have significant implications on the prognosis and treatment options for individuals with AML.

By identifying the Inv(16) t(16;16) (p13.1;q22) chromosomal abnormality through FISH testing, healthcare providers can better tailor the treatment plan for the patient and provide more accurate prognostic information.
