Detail Description

MM FISH PANEL - Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cost

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a type of cancer that affects plasma cells, which are white blood cells that produce antibodies. MM FISH PANEL is a genetic test that helps in the diagnosis and monitoring of MM. It is a type of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test that detects the presence or absence of specific genetic abnormalities that are associated with MM.

Symptoms of MM

The symptoms of MM can vary from person to person, and some people may not have any symptoms at all. Some of the common symptoms of MM include:

• Bone pain, especially in the back, ribs, and hips
• Fatigue and weakness
• Recurrent infections
• Unexplained weight loss
• Increased thirst and urination
• Nausea and vomiting
• Constipation

Diagnosis of MM

The diagnosis of MM involves a series of tests and procedures. Some of the common tests used for the diagnosis of MM include:

• Blood tests to check for abnormal levels of proteins, calcium, and other substances
• Urine tests to check for abnormal levels of proteins
• Bone marrow biopsy to check for the presence of abnormal plasma cells
• Imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, and CT scans to check for bone damage

In addition to these tests, genetic tests such as MM FISH PANEL can also be done to detect specific genetic abnormalities that are associated with MM.

MM FISH PANEL

MM FISH PANEL is a genetic test that detects the presence or absence of specific genetic abnormalities that are associated with MM. It is a type of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test that uses fluorescent probes to detect specific genetic sequences in cells.

The MM FISH PANEL test detects the following genetic abnormalities:

• del(11q)
• del(13q)
• IgH
• del(17p)

These genetic abnormalities are associated with a poor prognosis in patients with MM. Detection of these abnormalities can help in the diagnosis and monitoring of MM, as well as in the selection of appropriate treatment options.

Cost of MM FISH PANEL

The cost of MM FISH PANEL at DNA Labs India is INR 14,850. This includes the cost of the test as well as the cost of sample collection and transportation. The test results are usually available within 5-7 days after sample collection.
