Includes

FISH, Myeloma, 17p-, rea 14q32 and FISH, Myeloma, Risk Assessment Panel

When the result for IGH rearrangement is positive during initial FISH analysis, the IGH Panel (MAFB, MAF, FGFR3, CCND1) will be performed at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 88271 (x8), 88275 (x4)).
This allows identification of high risk t(14;16) and t(14;20), intermediate risk t(4;14), and standard risk t(11;14).

Please note: Partial reports are issued when the sample is insufficient to perform all components of the FISH panel.
