t911 p21-22q23 MLL-AF9 PCR QUALITATIVE Test
Test Cost: AED 1000.0
Overview
The t911 p21-22q23 MLL-AF9 PCR QUALITATIVE Test is a diagnostic test offered by DNA Labs UAE. It is designed to detect the presence of a specific chromosomal translocation in cells. This test is particularly useful in diagnosing certain types of leukemia, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with MLL rearrangements.
Test Components
- Price: AED 1000.0
- Sample Condition: 3mL (2mL min.) whole blood/bone marrow in 1 Lavender Top (EDTA) tube. Ship refrigerated. DO NOT FREEZE.
- Clinical History: Mandatory
- Report Delivery: Sample collected on Monday/Thursday at 11am, report delivered on Wednesday/Saturday
Method
The t911 p21-22q23 MLL-AF9 PCR QUALITATIVE Test is performed using a technique called Real Time PCR. This method amplifies specific DNA sequences in the sample, allowing for the detection of the MLL-AF9 fusion gene.
Test Type
This test is primarily used for the diagnosis of leukemia, specifically cases involving MLL rearrangements.
Doctor
This test is typically ordered by an Oncologist.
Test Department
This test is conducted in the Molecular Diagnostics department of DNA Labs UAE.
Pre Test Information
Clinical history is mandatory for this test.
Test Details
The t(911) (p21-22q23) (MLL-AF9) PCR qualitative test is a laboratory test performed by trained professionals. It involves the detection of a specific chromosomal translocation in cells, specifically the fusion of the MLL gene on chromosome 11 with the AF9 gene on chromosome 9. The test utilizes the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique to amplify specific DNA sequences in the sample.
The PCR qualitative test is used to determine if the MLL-AF9 fusion gene is present in the patient’s cells, indicating the presence of the t(911) (p21-22q23) chromosomal translocation. The results of this test can be used to diagnose certain types of leukemia, monitor the response to treatment, and detect minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients with MLL-AF9-positive leukemia.
It is important to note that this test requires a sample of the patient’s blood or bone marrow. The results are typically reported as either positive or negative for the MLL-AF9 fusion gene.
