Chromosome Analysis, Leukemia/Lymphoma With Reflex to Chromosome Microarray (CMA)
Also known as: Hematologic Disorders, Chromosome Analysis, Philadelphia Chromosome
Use
Karyotyping, physical localization of copy number changes, and mapping of breakpoints involved in translocations for the diagnosis/prognosis of leukemia/lymphoma subgroups. The SNP assay will detect chromosomal imbalance that may be present in neoplastic disorders and clonal evolution.It provides detection of copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity of any chromosome, and the percent and location of homozygosity, that may be associated with cancer gene mutations.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The SNP assay does not detect balanced rearrangements, low-level mosaicism (<10%), marker chromosomes containing only heterochromatin, or tetraploidy. For myeloid malignancy studies, sodium heparin amounts, lithium heparin, or EDTA can inhibit cell culture growth. A normal karyotype does not rule out clonal molecular alterations below light microscopy resolution, and additional molecular or FISH testing may be warranted.
