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

The maximum days the report can be obtained for the test 1p19q co-deletion, 1p3619q13 By FISH is typically 7-10 business days. However, this may vary depending on the specific laboratory and their workload at the time of testing.

What are the prerequisites for the test 1p19q co-deletion, 1p3619q13 By FISH

  • Specimen: Tumor tissue fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin
  • Requisition form with patient information and clinical history
  • Pathology report indicating the diagnosis of oligodendroglioma or mixed oligoastrocytoma
  • Signed informed consent from the patient for genetic testing

What are the measure values for the test 1p19q co-deletion, 1p3619q13 By FISH

Test 1p19q co-deletion, 1p36/19q13 By FISH
Measure Values
  • Normal: 2 signals each for 1p36 and 19q13
  • Deletion: Loss of one signal for either 1p36 or 19q13
  • Co-deletion: Loss of one signal for both 1p36 and 19q13

What does this test 1p19q co-deletion, 1p3619q13 By FISH identify?

This test identifies the presence of a specific genetic abnormality known as 1p19q co-deletion in the chromosomal region 1p36-19q13. This abnormality is commonly found in certain types of brain tumors, such as oligodendrogliomas, and is associated with a better response to certain chemotherapy treatments.

Why is this test 1p19q co-deletion, 1p3619q13 By FISH taken?

Reason for 1p19q co-deletion, 1p3619q13 By FISH Test

The 1p19q co-deletion, 1p3619q13 By FISH test is typically taken to detect genetic abnormalities in certain types of brain tumors, especially oligodendrogliomas. This test is important because the presence of a 1p19q co-deletion can have significant implications for prognosis and treatment decisions.

By using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technology, this test can identify specific chromosomal deletions in the tumor cells. In the case of 1p19q co-deletion, it refers to the simultaneous loss of genetic material on the short arm of chromosome 1 and the long arm of chromosome 19. This genetic alteration is characteristic of oligodendrogliomas and is associated with better response to certain treatments, such as chemotherapy.

Overall, the 1p19q co-deletion, 1p3619q13 By FISH test is essential for accurate diagnosis and management of brain tumors, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions regarding patient care.
