Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia; Leukemia/Lymphoma-specific FISH
9 days
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)
Test Includes:
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), targeting rearrangement of BCR/ABL, KMT2A (mLL), CMYC and numerical changes of chromosome 6 and 21q deletion

Uses FISH to detect chromosomal abnormalities in ALL. Aids in diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment planning.
Blood, Bone Marrow, CSF fixed-cell pellet from a cytogenetic analysis slide with metaphase and/or interphase nuclei or Bone Marrow touch preparation Slides are acceptable for testing
10 mL blood (pediatric), 3 mL bone marrow, fixed-cell pellet from a cytogenetic analysis, 8 slides with metaphase and/or interphase nuclei or 8 touch preparation slides.
Green-top (sodium heparin) tube, pediatric Vacutainer® is optimal or lavender-top (EDTA) tube (suboptimal). Adjust tube size to sample volume to avoid heparin toxicity.
No special preparation is required for this test. You may eat, drink, and take your medications as normal, unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider.
This test does not require any special collection or pre-analytical handling. Follow routine specimen collection protocols.
