Test Overview & Methodology
This fluorescence in‑situ hybridization (FISH) assay examines the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene locus for chromosomal rearrangements commonly present in multiple myeloma (MM) and related plasma cell neoplasms. It provides critical molecular information to support early diagnosis, risk stratification, and minimal residual disease monitoring.
| Feature | Our IgH FISH Test | Closest Alternative (PCR Clonality Assay) |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Fluorescence In‑Situ Hybridization (FISH) | PCR‑based BIOMED‑2 clonality assay |
| Diagnostic Sensitivity | >95% for clonal IgH rearrangements | ~80–90% |
| Turnaround Time | 3–4 working days | 7–10 working days |
| Sample Requirement | Bone marrow aspirate or peripheral blood | Bone marrow aspirate |
| Detection of Cryptic Translocations | Excellent (e.g., t(4;14), t(14;16)) | Limited |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor (Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011) emphasizes: “A positive IgH FISH result supports the diagnosis of multiple myeloma but must be correlated with serum protein electrophoresis, immunofixation, and bone marrow biopsy findings. Clinical correlation is essential to avoid overdiagnosis. Consult your hematologist for a personalized treatment plan.”
Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication — including corticosteroids, immunomodulatory drugs, or any maintenance therapy — without consulting your treating physician.
Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Active bleeding disorder (e.g., hemophilia, severe thrombocytopenia), ongoing infection at the venipuncture site, inability to provide informed consent.
- Red Flags – Seek emergency care if you experience: prolonged bleeding from the puncture site, fever >38°C, increasing pain or swelling, or signs of systemic infection within 24 hours of collection.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is an IgH gene rearrangement FISH test?
The IgH FISH detects abnormal immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangements to diagnose multiple myeloma and related plasma cell disorders.
2. Why might I need a bone marrow sample instead of only blood?
Bone marrow aspiration provides a higher concentration of plasma cells, increasing detection sensitivity compared to peripheral blood alone.
3. How long do results take and how will I receive them?
Final results are typically available within 3–4 working days and are delivered via secure electronic report to your ordering physician.
