Yes
Test Note
FISH Testing (Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization):
- Fluorescent probes can be used to determine chromosomal microdeletions, duplications, translocations, and rearrangements.
- Fluorescent probes can be used to characterize chromosome abnormalities associated with specific hematologic diseases.
- Reporting time is 1 week.
- FISH testing can be done on the same sample submitted for chromosome evaluation or it can be ordered alone.
A list of FISH probes orderable at UVMMC can be found under FISH Testing, Epic Code LAB9913.
