Methods
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) interphase FISH set-up and analysis of 500 cells for t(9;22) BCR/ABL1; if negative reflexed to 200 cells each for PDGFRA, PDGFRB and FGFR1 and centromere chromosome 8.
Clinical Utilities
Detection of abnormalities involving t(9;22) BCR/ABL1 gene fusion, trisomy of chromosome 8, deletion of 4q12 CHIC gene, rearrangement of PDGFRA, PDGFRB, FGFR1 genes most commonly associated with myeloproliferative neoplasms.
