Clinical Info
Interphase FISH analysis utilizing a dual color, dual fusion probe set specific to the CCND1 gene at 11q13.3 and the IGH gene at 14q32.33. This is useful in distinguishing patients with the t(11;14) translocation. If no cells are available for analysis, no analysis charges will be incurred.
