Test Code
CYMM (Non-Blood Sample), BCYMM (Blood Sample)
Technique
Fluorescence in situ Hybridization
Description
CYMM (Non-Blood Sample): Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is performed to detect duplication/amplification of 1q21(CKS1B), FGFR3/IGH, CCND1/1GH, IGH/MAF gene fusions, deletion 13q/loss of 13 and deletion of 17p13 (TP53) from non-blood samples. Test code CD138 (CD138 cells isolation) needs to be ordered together with CYMM.

Test code CD138 (CD138 cells isolation) needs to be ordered together with CYMM.
