The AML FISH panel is useful for detecting the prognostically significant cytogenetic FISH abnormalities used in Acute Myeloid Leukemia according to the NCCN guidelines.

  
Sodium heparin (Na hep) whole blood
  
  
5 mL
  
2.0 mL
  
  • Only one specimen tube is required to perform all ordered cytogenetics testing
  • The more testing requested, the closer to the optimal volume requirements is required
  • Immediately following collection, mix sample by inverting 5 - 10 times to prevent clotting
  

Dk green Sodium heparin (Na hep), no gel

  
Bone marrow
EDTA whole blood (a chromosome analysis study is not recommended for this specimen type)
  

EDTA whole blood: (not recommended)

Lavender (EDTA), 4mL

  
Bone marrow: 10 mL (minimum 5 mL)

Cytogenetic favorable prognostic indicators include: t(8;21) and inv(16) or t(16;16).

Cytogenetic intermediate prognostic indicators include: t(9;11) and abnormalities not classified as favorable or unfavorable.

Cytogenetic unfavorable prognostic indicators include: variant t(?;11) MLL rearrangements, -5 and 5q-, -7, and 17p- or TP53 deletions.
