What are the prerequisites for the test Deletion 13Q Test By FISH

  • Specimen: Peripheral blood, bone marrow, or tissue sample
  • Sample Collection: Samples must be collected and processed according to standard protocols for FISH testing
  • Requisition Form: A completed requisition form with all necessary patient information
  • Preservation: Samples must be properly preserved to maintain the integrity of the genetic material
  • Quality Control: Adequate quality control measures must be in place to ensure accurate and reliable results

What are the measure values for the test Deletion 13Q Test By FISH

  • Normal: 2 signals for the chromosome 13 probe
  • Abnormal: deletion of one or both chromosome 13 probes

What does this test Deletion 13Q Test By FISH identify?

Deletion 13Q Test By FISH

This test identifies the deletion of the long arm of chromosome 13 (13Q) using Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technique. FISH is a molecular cytogenetic technique that uses fluorescent probes to bind to specific DNA sequences on chromosomes, allowing for visualization of genetic abnormalities.

Deletion 13Q is associated with various genetic disorders and cancers, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and retinoblastoma. Detecting this deletion can help in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning for patients with these conditions.

Why is this test Deletion 13Q Test By FISH taken?

The Deletion 13Q Test By FISH is taken to detect the presence of a genetic abnormality known as deletion 13q in individuals suspected of having certain types of cancer, particularly chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This test uses a method called Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) to analyze the chromosomes of cells, specifically looking for deletions in the long arm of chromosome 13.

Deletion 13q is a common genetic abnormality in CLL and is associated with a better prognosis compared to other genetic abnormalities. Therefore, identifying this deletion can help in determining the most appropriate treatment and predicting the likely outcome for patients with CLL.
