FISH FOR DEL 7Q (D7S486)

Description

FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) for DEL 7Q (D7S486) is a molecular cytogenetic technique used to detect deletions or loss of genetic material on the long arm (q arm) of chromosome 7, specifically at the D7S486 locus. This test is often employed in the diagnosis and monitoring of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), where such deletions are frequently observed.
