FISH Follicular Lymphoma IGH-BCL2 t(14;18) Test
Comprehensive Genetic Analysis for Lymphoma Diagnosis
The FISH Follicular Lymphoma IGH-BCL2 t(14;18) Test represents a cutting-edge molecular diagnostic approach specifically designed to detect the hallmark genetic abnormality associated with follicular lymphoma. This sophisticated test utilizes Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technology to identify the characteristic chromosomal translocation between chromosomes 14 and 18, which plays a crucial role in the development and progression of follicular lymphoma.
What This Test Measures and Detects
This specialized genetic test specifically targets and identifies the t(14;18) chromosomal translocation, which involves the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) gene on chromosome 14 and the BCL2 gene on chromosome 18. This translocation results in the overexpression of the BCL2 protein, which prevents programmed cell death (apoptosis) and contributes to the development of follicular lymphoma.
- Detection of IGH-BCL2 fusion gene
- Identification of t(14;18) chromosomal translocation
- Assessment of BCL2 gene rearrangement
- Confirmation of follicular lymphoma diagnosis
- Differentiation from other lymphoma subtypes
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important for individuals presenting with symptoms or clinical findings suggestive of lymphoma, including:
- Patients with unexplained lymph node enlargement
- Individuals experiencing persistent fatigue and unexplained weight loss
- Patients with night sweats and fever without infection
- Those with abnormal blood cell counts or bone marrow findings
- Individuals with suspicious imaging results indicating possible lymphoma
- Patients requiring confirmation of follicular lymphoma diagnosis
- Cases where treatment response monitoring is necessary
Key Benefits of FISH Follicular Lymphoma Testing
Choosing the FISH Follicular Lymphoma IGH-BCL2 t(14;18) Test provides numerous advantages for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning:
- Precise Diagnosis: Enables definitive identification of follicular lymphoma subtype
- Treatment Guidance: Helps oncologists develop targeted treatment strategies
- Prognostic Information: Provides valuable insights into disease behavior and potential outcomes
- Minimal Sample Requirement: Requires only small tissue or blood samples
- Rapid Results: Delivers comprehensive analysis within 4 working days
- High Accuracy: Utilizes advanced FISH technology for reliable detection
Understanding Your Test Results
Your FISH Follicular Lymphoma test results will be carefully interpreted by our expert genetic specialists:
- Positive Result: Indicates presence of the t(14;18) translocation, confirming follicular lymphoma diagnosis
- Negative Result: Suggests absence of the specific translocation, potentially indicating other lymphoma subtypes
- Quantitative Analysis: Provides information about the percentage of cells carrying the abnormality
- Clinical Correlation: Results are interpreted in context with other clinical and laboratory findings
All results are accompanied by detailed explanations and recommendations for next steps in consultation with your healthcare provider.
