Test Overview & Methodology
The Chromosome Analysis (Philadelphia) test detects the BCR‑ABL1 fusion gene through conventional karyotyping of bone marrow aspirate, essential for diagnosing and monitoring chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia‑positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
| Feature | Our Karyotyping Test | Closest Alternative (FISH BCR‑ABL1) |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Conventional Karyotyping (Giemsa banding) with cell culture | Fluorescence in‑situ Hybridization (FISH) |
| Turnaround Time | 7 Working Days | 2–3 Working Days |
| Clinical Utility | Detects Philadelphia chromosome, other balanced translocations, and complex karyotypes; essential for risk stratification | Rapid detection of BCR‑ABL1 fusion only; limited karyotypic information |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"As a consultant medical geneticist, I recognize the crucial role of Philadelphia chromosome analysis in guiding targeted therapy for leukemia patients. The karyotype provides comprehensive genetic information essential for risk stratification and treatment planning."

Important Medication Advisory
⚠️ Do not discontinue or alter any prescribed medication without consulting your treating physician. Abrupt changes can adversely affect your clinical status and therapy response.
Exclusion Criteria & Precautions
- Exclusion: Uncorrected severe coagulopathy (INR >2.0) or platelet count <50,000/µL – discuss with your physician before bone marrow aspiration.
- Site Infection: Active skin infection at the aspiration site (posterior iliac crest) is a contraindication.
- Post‑Procedure Red Flags: Seek emergency care if you experience excessive bleeding, purulent discharge, fever >38.5°C, or severe pain unrelieved by prescribed analgesics.
- Transport: Bone marrow specimen must be collected in a Green Top (Sodium Heparin) tube, refrigerated immediately (DO NOT FREEZE), and reach our lab within 24 hours. A fully completed Chromosome & FISH Analysis Requisition form (Form 17) is mandatory.
- Pediatric & Compliance: For minors, collection follows Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability and Federal Law No. 2 of 2019, ensuring guardian consent and child‑safe protocols.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive Philadelphia chromosome result mean for my diagnosis?
A positive Philadelphia chromosome confirms the presence of the BCR‑ABL1 fusion gene, establishing a diagnosis of Philadelphia‑positive leukemia and guiding immediate initiation of targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.
2. How is the bone marrow sample collected and is it painful?
A small bone marrow aspirate is drawn from the back of the hip bone under local anaesthesia by a certified hematologist; most patients feel pressure rather than sharp pain, and the procedure is completed in minutes.
3. When will I receive my results and how are they interpreted?
Results are delivered within 7 working days; a specialist tele‑consultation will explain the karyotype findings, including any additional chromosomal abnormalities, and their impact on treatment planning.
