Expected Turnaround Time

5 days
Stated turn-around-times (TATs) are for clinical use only and subject to change based on biopharma protocol requirements. Final TATs will be specified in the biopharma study contract.

Clinical Information

FISH test on hematologic specimens for detection of FIP1L1/CHIC2/PDGFRA (4q12) deletion and gene fusion. This probe is used for detecting a microdeletion involving the CHIC2 locus that leads to fusion of the FIP1L1 and PDGFRA genes. This abnormality is most frequently observed in eosinophilia and myeloproliferative neoplasms. Often ordered as part of the F EOSINOPHILA Panel.
