Test Overview & Methodology
Multiplex Fluorescence In‑Situ Hybridization (m‑FISH) is a high‑resolution genomic test that simultaneously paints all 24 human chromosomes in distinct colours, enabling detection of complex chromosomal rearrangements, aneuploidy, and occult abnormalities in a single cell. It is the frontline molecular cytogenetic tool for haematological malignancies, constitutional disorders, and therapy‑related genetic surveillance.
| Feature | Our m‑FISH Service | Conventional Karyotyping / Single‑locus FISH |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution | Whole‑genome, all‑chromosome simultaneous analysis | Limited to targeted abnormalities or gross cytogenetics |
| Methodology | Multiplex FISH with 24‑colour combinatorial labelling (ISO 9001:2015) | Giemsa banding or single‑/dual‑probe FISH |
| Turnaround Time | 10–15 working days (expedited reporting available) | 14–21 days for full karyotype; same day for urgent FISH |
| Sample Requirement | 1–2 mL heparinised bone marrow or peripheral blood in sterile container | Similar volume, but often requires culture amplification |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a DHA‑licensed Consultant Medical Genetics, I emphasize that m‑FISH is a powerful screening and diagnostic adjunct; however, clinical correlation with patient history, physical findings, and supplementary laboratory data remains indispensable. This test does not replace specialist genetic counselling, and any abnormal result must be reviewed within a multidisciplinary context.”

⚠️ Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. m‑FISH results may influence therapeutic decisions; always coordinate with your referring physician.
Safety & Exclusion Criteria
- Absolute exclusion: inability to obtain a diagnostic bone marrow aspirate or peripheral blood sample (e.g., severe coagulopathy, active bleeding at the collection site).
- Relative exclusion: critical illness requiring immediate stabilisation; procedure must be deferred until clinically safe.
- Emergency red flags after sample collection: persistent bleeding, new‑onset fever >38.5°C, difficulty breathing, or rapidly expanding haematoma – seek emergency care immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is m‑FISH testing and why has my doctor ordered it?
Multiplex FISH is an advanced genomic test that simultaneously detects multiple chromosomal abnormalities from a single cell. It provides a whole‑genome snapshot of chromosomal gains, losses, and rearrangements, helping to diagnose leukaemia, lymphoma, and hereditary syndromes.
2. How should I prepare for the m‑FISH blood or bone marrow collection?
A doctor’s prescription is required. No fasting is needed, but you must inform the healthcare provider about anticoagulant use or bleeding disorders before the procedure. Note that sample collection is performed strictly within an accredited hospital facility.
3. How reliable are the results and when will I receive them?
With 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity under ISO 9001:2015 standards, m‑FISH delivers clinically actionable results within 10–15 working days. All reports include a detailed interpretive cytogenetic note and are accessible via secure patient portal or direct physician communication.
