FISH Test Report

Posted by Kappa King @kappaking, Jun 3 6:47pm

I received the results of my FISH test. From what I've read del(13q14) is not great news. If I understand correctly, gene 14 on the long arm (q) of chromosome 13 is responsible for the creation of a protein that is responsible for tumor suppression. Anyone with similar results?

"Conventional karyotyping analysis revealed no detectable clonal abnormalities of chromosome number or structure in the 20 metaphase cells analyzed..."

"...Signal patterns consistent with a MYC rearrangement and 13q14 deletion were observed in 4% and 6% of the cells scored, respectively. Thus, there was evidence to suggest low-level MYC rearrangement and 13q14 deletion, but no evidence of 1p32 deletion, 1q21 gain, gain of chromosome 5, 9, 15, or 21, IGH rearrangement, or TP53/17p13.1 deletion."

@kappaking Personally, I would wait to hear what my doctor has to say, how the results are interpreted. When do you see him/her, next?

@kappaking Until that appointment, please be gentle on yourself. No "I wonder if it means this..." or "what do I do now..." Will you be able to do that? What do you plan to do when your nerves get the best of you and you're scripting thing out in your mind? I'd love to know.
