Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of FGFR1 gene rearrangement. A positive result suggests a genetic abnormality associated with certain blood cancers.
Positive: Rearrangement detected, further diagnostic workup recommended
Negative: No rearrangement detected, clinical correlation advised
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If test results are positive or if symptoms persist, consult an oncologist or hematologist immediately.

Limitations

  • Cannot detect all genetic variants
  • Requires expert interpretation
  • May not identify minor clones

What is the FISH - FGFR1 (8p12) Gene Rearrangement Test?
It is a diagnostic test that uses FISH technology to detect rearrangements in the FGFR1 gene on chromosome 8, which are associated with certain blood cancers.
Why is this test recommended?
This test is recommended for individuals showing symptoms of blood cancers or when there is a suspicion of myeloid or lymphoid neoplasms, to confirm genetic abnormalities.
What samples are required for this test?
Either 5 mL of whole blood or 4 mL of bone marrow collected in sodium heparin tubes.
How long does it take to get the results?
Results are typically available within 4 working days after sample receipt.
What does a positive test result indicate?
A positive result indicates the presence of FGFR1 gene rearrangement, which is linked to aggressive blood cancers and requires further medical evaluation.
Is the test painful?
The blood draw may cause minor discomfort, while bone marrow aspiration might be more invasive but is performed under local anesthesia.
What is the cost of the FISH FGFR1 test in India?
The cost is INR 6000 at DNA Labs India, which may vary slightly by location.
Is home sample collection available for this test?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for online bookings across numerous cities in India.
How accurate is the FISH test for detecting FGFR1 rearrangements?
FISH is a highly accurate method for detecting specific gene rearrangements, but results should be correlated with clinical findings.
