Acute Myeloid Leukemia Panel by FISH
Ordering Recommendation
Use to identify cytogenetic abnormalities with diagnostic and prognostic significance in suspected or newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). To monitor therapeutic response using specific probes, refer to Chromosome FISH, Interphase (2002298).
New York DOH Approval Status
Specimen Required
Nondiluted bone marrow aspirate collected in a heparinized syringe. Also acceptable: Whole blood in green (sodium heparin). Other specimen types may be acceptable, contact the Cytogenetics Laboratory for specific specimen collection and transportation instructions.
Transfer bone marrow to a green (sodium heparin). Transport 3 mL bone marrow. (Min: 1 mL) OR Transport 5 mL whole blood. (Min: 2 mL)
Room temperature
Clotted or paraffin-embedded specimens.
Ambient: 48 hours; Refrigerated: 48 hours; Frozen: Unacceptable
Methodology
Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH)
Performed
Sun-Sat
Reported
3-10 days
Reference Interval
Normal
Interpretive Data
Probes included: RPN1/MECOM (EVI1), EGR1, D7S486, RUNX1T1/RUNX1, KMT2A (MLL), CBFB/MYH11, and NUP98. The probe for PML/RARa; is added automatically and is performed along with the panel. However, due to the longer turnaround time required for the panel, the result of this probe is reported as soon as available and is charged separately. (See PML-RARA Translocation by FISH, ARUP test code 2002363.)
Laboratory Developed Test (LDT)
Note
If cell pellets or dropped cytogenetic slides are submitted, processing fee will not apply.
Other specimen types may be acceptable, contact the Cytogenetics Laboratory for specific specimen collection and transportation instructions.
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. The fee will vary based on specimen type.
