Test Details
The MDS FISH panel is a genetic test used to detect specific chromosomal abnormalities in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). This particular panel is designed to identify three common deletions in MDS patients: deletion of the long arm of chromosome 5 (del(5q)), deletion of the long arm of chromosome 7 (del(7q)), and deletion of the long arm of chromosome 20 (del(20q)).
These chromosomal deletions are frequently observed in MDS and can provide important diagnostic and prognostic information. For example, the del(5q) abnormality is associated with a specific subtype of MDS called 5q- syndrome, which typically has a more favorable prognosis compared to other MDS subtypes.
The MDS FISH panel uses fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technology to detect these chromosomal deletions. FISH involves labeling specific DNA probes with fluorescent dyes and then hybridizing them to the patient’s chromosomes. If a deletion is present in the patient’s DNA, the corresponding fluorescent signal will be absent or reduced.
By detecting these specific chromosomal abnormalities, the MDS FISH panel can help in the diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment planning for patients with MDS. It provides valuable information that can guide clinical decision-making and help optimize patient care.
