Laboratory test results should always be considered in the context of clinical observations. This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by med fusion. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA). The FDA has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary. This test is used for clinical purposes. It should not be regarded as investigational for research. This laboratory is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments
of 1988 (CLIA) as qualified to perform high complexity clinical laboratory testing.

An interpretive report will be provided.

Numerical and structural aberrations of chromosomes have been well defined in Hematologic malignancies and various other cancers. Chromosome analysis by karyotyping can identify clonal chromosomal abnormalities. In several instances these genetic changes are associated with characteristic disease pathology, prognostic values and may aid in making treatment decisions.
