Analyte Specific Reagent (ASR)
Note
Fluorescence in situ Hybridization panel is performed for CLL prognosis-specific genomic abnormalities as follows: ATM deletion, D13S319 deletion, Trisomy 12, TP53 deletion.
A processing fee will be charged if this procedure is canceled at the client's request, after the test has been set up, or if the specimen integrity is inadequate to allow culture growth
If cell pellets or dropped cytogenetic slides are submitted, processing fee will not apply.
This test must be ordered using Oncology test request form #43099 or through your ARUP interface.
If chromosome analysis is not performed at ARUP on the same sample, Bone Marrow/PBL Culture Processing Fee (0093271) will be added to account for sample processing, and additional charge will apply. If multiple FISH tests are ordered, 0093271 will only be applied to one of the FISH tests.
