Test Parameters & Specifications

Sample TypeBone marrow / Peripheral blood
Sample Volume2 ml
ContainerSodium Heparin Vacutainer (2ml)
Collection MethodBone Marrow Aspiration or Venipuncture

Sample Stability

Bone marrow sample: Process within 24 hours at 2-8°C
Peripheral blood sample: Stable for 24 hours at room temperature
Sample Rejection Criteria:
  • Hemolyzed or clotted sample
  • Insufficient sample volume
  • Incorrect anticoagulant used
  • Sample not transported within stability period

Understanding Your Results

Results from the ALL FISH Panel test indicate the presence or absence of specific chromosomal abnormalities. Positive results suggest genetic changes associated with ALL, which can influence diagnosis and treatment.
📊

Positive: Indicates Philadelphia chromosome, often associated with chronic myeloid leukemia but seen in some ALL cases, guiding targeted therapy like tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

📊

Positive: Suggests t(12;21) translocation, common in pediatric ALL and generally associated with a favorable prognosis.

📊

Positive: Indicates MLL gene rearrangement, linked to aggressive ALL and may require intensive treatment.

📊

Positive: Identifies E2A abnormalities, associated with specific ALL subtypes and may affect treatment response.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of ALL such as persistent fever, fatigue, or unexplained bleeding. Also, consult for follow-up after test results to discuss treatment options.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic abnormalities in ALL
  • ⚠Requires skilled interpretation by a pathologist
  • ⚠False negatives possible if abnormality is below detection limit
  • ⚠Not a standalone diagnostic tool; clinical correlation needed

Risks & Considerations

  • ●For bone marrow aspiration: pain at the site, infection, or bleeding
  • ●For blood draw: minimal risk such as bruising or dizziness
  • ●General: discomfort during sample collection

Interfering Factors

  • ●Poor sample quality or hemolysis
  • ●Contamination during collection or transport
  • ●Delayed sample processing beyond stability period
  • ●Use of incorrect anticoagulant
