BCR-ABL Variant Panel - Symptoms, Diagnosis and Cost

BCR-ABL Variant Panel is a diagnostic test that helps in the detection of specific genetic mutations in the BCR-ABL gene. This gene is responsible for the production of a protein that can cause leukemia. The BCR-ABL Variant Panel test is used to diagnose chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and monitor the response to treatment.

Symptoms of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

The symptoms of chronic myeloid leukemia can vary from person to person. Some common symptoms include:

• Fatigue
• Weakness
• Weight loss
• Pain or swelling in the abdomen
• Sweating, especially at night
• Fever

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to consult a doctor immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve the chances of a successful outcome.

Diagnosis of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

The diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia usually involves a combination of physical examination, blood tests, and bone marrow biopsy. The BCR-ABL Variant Panel test is also used to confirm the diagnosis and determine the specific genetic mutation present in the BCR-ABL gene.

BCR-ABL Variant Panel Test

The BCR-ABL Variant Panel test detects three common genetic mutations in the BCR-ABL gene - Mbcr-b2a2, b3a2, and b2a3. The test is performed on a blood sample and is used to monitor the response to treatment and detect any relapse.

Cost of BCR-ABL Variant Panel Test

The cost of the BCR-ABL Variant Panel test at DNA Labs India is INR 9000.

Conclusion

The BCR-ABL Variant Panel test is an important diagnostic tool for the detection and monitoring of chronic myeloid leukemia. If you are experiencing any symptoms or have been diagnosed with CML, it is important to consult a doctor and get the necessary tests done.
