Laboratory Developed Test (LDT)
This reflex assay is recommended when the BCR-ABL1 fusion form is not known or unclear. This reflex assay detects the presence of either the p210 (major breakpoint), p190 (minor breakpoint), or p230 (micro breakpoint). If the presence of either the p210 or p190 BCR-ABL1 fusion is detected, then the appropriate quantitative test will be performed. Additional charges apply.
If the fusion form is known, refer to BCR-ABL1, Major (p210), Quantitative (ARUP test code 2005017) or BCR-ABL1, Minor (p190), Quantitative (ARUP test code 2005016).
