Test ID: BLPF    
B-Cell Lymphoma, FISH, Blood or Bone Marrow

Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Detecting a neoplastic clone associated with the common chromosome abnormalities seen in patients with various B-cell lymphomas using blood or bone marrow specimens

 

Tracking known chromosome abnormalities and response to therapy in patients with B-cell neoplasms

Reflex Tests Lists tests that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial tests.

Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

This test includes a charge for application of the first probe set (2 FISH probes) and professional interpretation of results. Additional charges will be incurred for all reflex probes performed. Analysis charges will be incurred based on the number of cells analyzed per probe set. If no cells are available for analysis, no analysis charges will be incurred.

  

Depending on the lymphoma subtype suspected, the most appropriate probes to order are listed in the table "Common Chromosome Abnormalities in B-cell Lymphomas" in Clinical Information.

 

If the patient is being tracked for known abnormalities, indicate which probes should be used.

 

If no probes (or lymphoma subtype) are specified at the time of order, a panel of the following probe sets will be performed:

-8q24.1 rearrangement, MYC

-t(8;14), MYC/IGH

-18q21 rearrangement, BCL2

-3q27 rearrangement, BCL6

-t(11;14), CCND1/IGH

-17p-, TP53/D17Z1

-18q21 rearrangement, MALT1
