Scientific name: BCR-ABL Gene Fusion Test

BCR-ABL analysis is a genetic test used to detect the fusion between the BCR gene and the ABL gene, which is considered a key marker in the diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). This analysis is usually performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to identify the presence of this fusion, helping assess the patient’s health stat...

FAQs

  • What is the BCR-ABL Test? It is a genetic test used to detect the fusion between the BCR and ABL genes, which is a marker for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
  • How is the test performed? A sample of blood or bone marrow is taken, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used to detect the genetic fusion.
  • What are the normal levels for the test results? If no fusion is present, the result is negative. Any fusion indicates CML.
  • Does the test require any special preparation? It usually does not require special preparation, but it is recommended to consult the doctor.
  • What are the risks associated with the test? Potential risks are related to blood draw, such as bruising or localized pain, but these are generally minor.
  • How long does it take to get the results? Results are usually available within a few days, but timing may vary depending on the laboratory.

Normal Levels

  • Negative Result: Indicates no genetic fusion between the BCR and ABL genes, suggesting the absence of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
  • Positive Result: Indicates the presence of the genetic fusion, suggesting a possible CML diagnosis.
  • Assessment of Fusion Levels: If the fusion is present, its expression level is measured, ranging from low to high. Higher levels may indicate a more severe disease or lower response to treatment.
  • Treatment Guidance: Treatment and monitoring depend on the fusion level. Higher fusion levels may require adjustments in the treatment plan.
