Chromosome FISH, CLL Panel
Also known as: FISH CLLP
Use
The Chromosome FISH, CLL Panel is an alternate test to detect prognostically important genomic abnormalities in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). This test uses FISH technology to identify specific chromosomal abnormalities that are associated with CLL, which can provide important prognostic information for patient management.
Special Instructions
This test must be ordered using Oncology test request form #43099 or through your ARUP interface. Clinical indication or reason for testing and specimen type are required with the test order. 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 for culture growth.
Limitations
Frozen specimens, paraffin-embedded specimens, and clotted specimens are unsuitable for testing and may result in compromised or delayed results. The test has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration but was developed and its performance characteristics were determined by ARUP Laboratories in a CLIA certified laboratory.
