Test Details
The FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) test for synovial sarcoma is used to detect a specific gene rearrangement involving the SS18/SYT gene on chromosome 18q11.2.
Synovial sarcoma is a rare type of soft tissue sarcoma that usually affects young adults. It is characterized by a specific translocation between chromosomes X and 18, resulting in a fusion of the SS18 gene on chromosome 18 with the SYT gene on the X chromosome. This gene rearrangement is present in about 90% of synovial sarcoma cases.
The FISH test utilizes fluorescently labeled DNA probes that specifically bind to the SS18/SYT fusion gene. By visualizing the fluorescent signals under a microscope, the presence of the gene rearrangement can be identified. If the SS18/SYT fusion gene is detected, it confirms the diagnosis of synovial sarcoma.
The FISH test is a valuable diagnostic tool for synovial sarcoma, as it provides a definitive and specific result. It can be performed on a tissue sample obtained through a biopsy or surgical resection. The results of the FISH test can help guide treatment decisions and prognosis for patients with synovial sarcoma.
