FISH – t 1221 or LSI TELAML1 Test

Are you looking for information about the FISH – t 1221 or LSI TELAML1 Test? Look no further! DNA Labs UAE offers this test at a cost of AED 1200.0. This test is used for the diagnosis of leukemia and is commonly referred to by oncologists and hematologists.

Test Details

The FISH – t(1221) test is a type of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test that is used to detect a specific chromosomal translocation known as t(12;21). This translocation is commonly found in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and is associated with a more favorable prognosis. On the other hand, the LSI TEL/AML1 test is also a FISH test that detects a different chromosomal translocation known as t(12;21)(p13;q22). This translocation is specifically associated with B-cell precursor ALL and results in the fusion of the TEL (ETV6) and AML1 (RUNX1) genes.

Both tests are molecular diagnostic tools used in the evaluation of leukemia patients, specifically in the detection of specific chromosomal abnormalities. The FISH – t(1221) test is primarily used to detect the t(12;21) translocation, while the LSI TEL/AML1 test is used to detect the TEL/AML1 fusion gene. It’s important to note that these tests are typically performed in conjunction with other diagnostic methods, such as cytogenetic analysis and molecular genetic testing, to provide a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s leukemia.
