FISH - BCR / ABL OR PHILADELPHIA TRANSLOCATION Test Cost INR:6000 Symptoms Diagnosis - DNA Labs India

FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) is a highly accurate genetic testing method that is used to detect specific DNA sequences in chromosomes. One of the most common FISH tests is the BCR/ABL or Philadelphia Translocation Test, which is used to diagnose a type of leukemia called Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML).

At DNA Labs India, we provide FISH testing services that are both highly accurate and affordable. Our BCR/ABL or Philadelphia Translocation Test costs INR 6000, and can help diagnose CML in a timely and effective manner.

Symptoms of CML

CML is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. The symptoms of CML can include:

• Fatigue
• Unexplained weight loss
• Night sweats
• Fever
• Abdominal pain or fullness
• Enlarged spleen
• Bone pain

It is important to note that these symptoms may not appear until the disease is in advanced stages. Therefore, it is important to get regular check-ups and screenings, especially if you have a family history of CML or other types of cancer.

Diagnosis of CML

The diagnosis of CML typically involves a physical exam, blood tests, and a bone marrow biopsy. The BCR/ABL or Philadelphia Translocation Test can also be used to diagnose CML, as it detects a specific genetic mutation that is present in over 90% of CML cases.

If you are experiencing symptoms of CML or have a family history of the disease, it is important to talk to your doctor about getting tested. Early diagnosis and treatment can greatly improve outcomes for patients with CML.
