What is FISH for BCR-ABL1 translocation?
FISH for BCR-ABL1 translocation is a FISH (fluorescence in-situ hybridisation) test used in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia-positive leukemia. FISH uses fluorescent probes to find specific chromosome changes — translocations, deletions or extra gene copies — in individual cells, even cells that are not dividing.
Why is FISH for BCR-ABL1 translocation done?
- FISH uses fluorescent probes to find specific chromosome changes — translocations, deletions or extra gene copies — in individual cells, even cells that are not dividing.
- BCR::ABL1 testing confirms the diagnosis; repeated quantitative (RT-qPCR) testing tracks response to treatment.
- Kinase-domain mutation testing explains resistance to imatinib and related drugs.
Who may be advised to take FISH for BCR-ABL1 translocation?
- Patients with suspected or confirmed CML, and Philadelphia-positive ALL, at diagnosis and during follow-up.
