Unit Code 87995:
Imatinib Mesylate Responsive Genes, Locus Anomalies, FISH
Useful For
Detecting a neoplastic clone associated with the common
chromosome anomalies seen in patients with acute leukemia
or other myeloid malignancies.
This panel is particularly useful for specimens in which standard
cytogenetic analysis is unsuccessful.
Individual probes can also be utilized to track down known
chromosome anomalies in patients with myeloid malignancies
and, therefore, assess response to therapy.

Testing Algorithm
Panel includes testing for the following anomalies via the probes listed:
ARG/1q25, BAP ARG
PDGFRA/4q12, BAP PDGFRA
PDGFRB/5q33, BAP PDGFRB
ABL/9q34, BAP ABL
If the patient is being tracked for known anomalies, please indicate which
anomalies need to be investigated.
When this test is ordered, 2 FISH probes are included. If further probes
are needed, they will be added at an additional charge.
