Epic Code LAB2111348 Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Probe Panel by FISH

Test Name Alias

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Probe Panel by FISH | 990

Interface Order Alias

11362

Clinical Information

This probe panel detects specific numerical and structural chromosome abnormalities commonly associated with AML.

 

Routine chromosome analysis is performed on all diagnostic samples and is recommended on all bone marrow specimens to exclude abnormalities not identified by the specified FISH probe(s).

Collection Instructions
