About the FISH – 14q32.3 OR LSI IGH GENE BREAKAPART Test
The FISH – 14q32.3 or LSI IGH gene breakapart test is a laboratory test used to detect genetic abnormalities in certain types of cancer, specifically lymphomas and leukemias. It is a type of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test that looks for rearrangements or translocations involving the 14q32.3 region or the IGH (immunoglobulin heavy chain) gene.
In normal cells, the IGH gene is located on chromosome 14q32.3 and plays a role in the production of antibodies. However, in some cancer cells, there may be rearrangements or translocations involving this gene. These genetic abnormalities can lead to the formation of abnormal proteins or overexpression of certain genes, which can contribute to the development and progression of cancer.
The FISH – 14q32.3 or LSI IGH gene breakapart test uses fluorescently labeled DNA probes that specifically bind to the 14q32.3 region or the IGH gene. By visualizing the fluorescence pattern under a microscope, the test can determine if there are any abnormalities in the location or structure of the IGH gene. The presence of a break or rearrangement in the gene can help diagnose specific types of lymphomas or leukemias, such as Burkitt lymphoma or multiple myeloma.
Overall, the FISH – 14q32.3 or LSI IGH gene breakapart test is a valuable tool in cancer diagnostics, providing important information about the genetic alterations present in certain types of cancer cells. This information can help guide treatment decisions and prognosis for patients.
