Sample Collection
Ensure a doctor's prescription is available. Avoid eating or drinking for a few hours if specified, though fasting is not typically required. Inform the healthcare provider about any medications or recent treatments.
Method: Venipuncture
Laboratory Analysis
A small sample of bone marrow or peripheral blood will be collected using a needle. The procedure is performed by a trained professional and may cause minimal discomfort.
Report Delivery
Apply pressure to the collection site to prevent bleeding. Keep the area clean and dry. Transport the sample immediately to the lab as per instructions.

Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed or clotted sample
- Insufficient sample volume
- Improper labeling or documentation
- Sample not transported within stability period
Understanding Your Results
Normal
No deletions or duplications detected in the tested genes. Does not rule out ALL; correlate with clinical context.
Abnormal - Deletion
Deletion detected in one or more genes, suggesting possible ALL. Requires further evaluation by an oncologist.
Abnormal - Duplication
Duplication detected, indicating genetic changes associated with ALL. May influence treatment planning.
Inconclusive
Test could not provide clear results; repeat testing or additional tests may be needed.
Consult an oncologist immediately if the test shows abnormal results, or if symptoms of ALL persist or worsen. Regular follow-up is recommended for monitoring.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants or mutations
- ⚠Results should be correlated with clinical findings and other tests
- ⚠Limited to deletions and duplications; does not detect point mutations
- ⚠Requires high-quality DNA sample for accurate analysis
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw: bruising, infection, or discomfort
- ●Bone marrow collection may involve slight pain or bleeding
- ●Rare allergic reactions to antiseptics
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination
- ●Improper sample storage or transport
- ●Hemolyzed or clotted blood sample
- ●Recent blood transfusions affecting DNA quality
