Test Overview & Methodology
This precise fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay detects translocations involving the MYC oncogene at 8q24 in bone marrow (primary) or peripheral blood, establishing a cornerstone for diagnosing and differentiating acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and Burkitt lymphoma. The test is performed under strict ISO-certified protocols at our Dubai Healthcare City facility.
A valid doctor’s prescription is required, with exemptions for surgery clearance, pregnancy-related screening, or travel health certificates per DHA policy. Please contact our support team for verification.

| Turnaround Time | 3–4 working days | 7–14 days |
| Sample Requirements | Bone marrow aspirate (2 mL EDTA/heparin) | Bone marrow aspirate; may require cultured cells |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Geneticist, I highlight that MYC rearrangement results must always be interpreted together with the patient’s full clinical picture, immunophenotype, and other genetic markers. These findings are a powerful guide, but only the complete context can drive optimal treatment decisions. Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.”

Advisory & Safety Precautions
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Active systemic infection or localized infection at the collection site.
- Severe thrombocytopenia (platelets < 20×10⁹/L) or uncontrolled coagulopathy.
- Patient unable to consent or remain still during bone marrow aspiration.
- Pregnancy status without treating physician clearance (for genetic testing).
- ER Red Flags: If you develop fever >38.5°C, uncontrolled bleeding, or acute severe pain, seek immediate emergency care rather than waiting for scheduled collection.
Patient Safety & Consent
Clinical testing safety and patient consent are governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability. All procedures at our facility adhere to this legislation, ensuring your rights and safety are protected during the diagnostic process.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the C-Myc FISH test detect, and why is it ordered?
The test detects MYC gene translocations (8q24) in bone marrow or blood to confirm and classify acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ICD-10-CM: C91.00), non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma (C83.70), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (C83.39). The result guides targeted therapy and prognosis.
2. Why is the test priced at 700 AED?
The 700 AED fee covers ISO-certified FISH processing, cold-chain specimen logistics from the hospital, laboratory reagents, and a comprehensive 3–4 day result report with clinical interpretation by our licensed geneticist.
3. Do I need a doctor’s prescription, and what are the exceptions?
A physician’s order is mandatory, unless the test is performed for surgery clearance, pregnancy-related screening, or travel health certificates according to UAE DHA regulations. Contact our support team for verification via WhatsApp.
4. How is the sample collected, and what are the preparation instructions?
Sample collection is performed exclusively at a hospital (bone marrow aspirate). No special preparation is needed, but inform your doctor about any anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications. The procedure is done under local anesthesia or sedation as needed.
