FISH, p53, Deletion 17p13.1
Test Summary
Loss of the p53 gene, located in chromosome 17p13.1, is a common occurrence in neoplastic disorders, including hematologic disorders. FISH studies for deletion p53 are performed in addition to G-banding analysis of bone marrow, hematologic blood, lymph nodes, and solid tumors. This probe may be useful in detecting loss of p53 in complex karyotypes. Deletion of p53 is an adverse prognostic marker in CLL and follicular lymphoma.

Preferred Specimen
3 mL bone marrow or 5 mL whole blood collected in sodium heparin (green-top) tube
Minimum Volume
1 mL bone marrow • 3 mL whole blood
Instructions
Clinical history/reason for referral is required with test order. Prior therapy and transplant history should be provided with test order.
Please specify if this test is run for plasma cell neoplasms.
Submit 1 to 3 mL of bone marrow or 3 to 5 mL whole blood in a sodium heparin (green-top) tube. Bone marrow transport medium is available upon request.
Specimen viability decreases during transit. Send specimen to testing lab for viability determination. Do not freeze. Do not reject.
Note: If results are not possible, the test order may be canceled and replaced with a Cytogenetics Communication.
