Multiple Myeloma Enrichment SNP Microarray−Oncology (Reveal®)
Use
This test 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
Clinicians are requested to provide the patient's clinical history and details of any ancillary oncology testing. For any inquiries, customer service can be reached at 800-345-4363.
Limitations
The SNP assay does not detect balanced rearrangements, low-level mosaicism (below 10%), marker chromosomes consisting only of heterochromatin, or cases of tetraploidy. The test was developed by Labcorp with performance characteristics determined by the lab itself. It has not received clearance or approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
