FISH – BCL6 3q27 GENE REARRANGEMENT Test

Are you concerned about lymphomas? The FISH – BCL6 3q27 GENE REARRANGEMENT Test offered by DNA Labs UAE can provide you with valuable insights. Read on to learn more about the test, its cost, symptoms, diagnosis, and more.

Test Details

The FISH – BCL6 (3q27) gene rearrangement test is a molecular test used to detect rearrangements involving the BCL6 gene located on chromosome 3q27. This gene rearrangement is commonly found in certain types of lymphomas, such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma.

The test involves using fluorescent probes that specifically bind to the BCL6 gene region. If there is a rearrangement involving the BCL6 gene, such as a translocation or inversion, the fluorescent signals will be abnormal, indicating the presence of the rearrangement.

The FISH – BCL6 gene rearrangement test is typically performed on a sample of tumor tissue obtained through a biopsy or surgical procedure. It can help in the diagnosis and classification of lymphomas, as well as in determining the prognosis and treatment options for patients.

Test Cost

The cost of the FISH – BCL6 3q27 GENE REARRANGEMENT Test at DNA Labs UAE is AED 1400.0.

Symptoms
