CBFB/MYH11 inv(16), Quantitative, Real-Time PCR
Test Summary
This Real-Time Quantitative (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction) for the amplification of CBFB/MYH11 fusion transcript can be used to detect the chromosome aberration of inv (16) or t (16;16). It can be used to detect Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) and assess the risk for disease relapse in inv (16) or t (16;16) Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).

Specimen Collection
Special Instructions
Preferred Specimen
Minimum Volume
Instructions
Do not reject specimens, send to laboratory for screening.
Collect 5 mL of whole blood or 3 mL bone marrow in an EDTA (lavender-top) tube. Whole blood or bone marrow is shipped at room temperature or refrigerated (cold packs). Do not freeze whole blood or bone marrow.
After collection of the sample, draw date and time, as well as sample type, must be written on the tube and included as requested information.
If the stability of the sample cannot be determined, delay in result or cancelation of test may occur. Clotted specimens are unacceptable.
Only accept extracted RNA when extraction or isolation is performed in an appropriately qualified laboratory such as a CLIA-certified laboratory or a laboratory meeting equivalent requirements as determined by the CAP and/ or CMS.
