What does this test PML Ra Ra t(15;17) Test By FISH identify?

Test Name:
PML Ra Ra t(15;17) Test By FISH
Identifies:
This test identifies the presence of a specific chromosomal translocation between chromosomes 15 and 17, known as the PML-RARA fusion gene. This translocation is commonly associated with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Method:
Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) is used to detect the PML-RARA fusion gene by fluorescently labeling specific DNA probes that bind to the translocated chromosomes 15 and 17.

Why is this test PML Ra Ra t(15;17) Test By FISH taken?

The PML-RaRa t(15;17) test by FISH is taken to detect the presence of a specific genetic abnormality known as the t(15;17) translocation in cells. This translocation is commonly associated with a type of leukemia called acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

By using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technology, this test can accurately identify the fusion of the PML gene on chromosome 15 with the RARa gene on chromosome 17, which is characteristic of APL. Detecting this translocation is important for diagnosing APL and determining the appropriate treatment plan for patients.
