FISH FOR INVERSION 16 (CBFB)/T(16;16) - (Outlab)
What does FISH FOR INVERSION 16 (CBFB)/T(16;16) - (Outlab) measure?
This fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test looks for inversion 16 involving the CBFB gene or the related t(16;16) chromosome rearrangement. These genetic changes may be evaluated in blood or bone marrow cells when a healthcare professional is assessing certain blood and bone marrow disorders, including suspected acute myeloid leukemia. Results are interpreted together with blood counts, microscopy, and other genetic or molecular tests.
