Confirmation/identification of chromosome abnormalities in interphase nuclei. Leukemia monitoring of residual disease.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
This test will not detect molecular mutations or chromosomal alterations not targeted by the probes included in this profile. The analysis is restricted to abnormalities detectable by the specific probes used, and the results should be interpreted within the context of a full cytogenetic analysis and hematologic evaluation. This test is developed by Labcorp and is not cleared or approved by the FDA.
