Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method;
LOINC short name : inv(16)(p13;q22)/control Bld/T;
LOINC description : A pericentric inversion of chromosome 16, inv(16)(p13;q22), results in a fused transcript
between MYH11 (16p13.1) and CBFB (16q22.1) genes and is known to cause acute myeloid
leukemia (AML). Techniques like real-time PCR are used to detect the MYH11-CBFB fused
transcript. An endogenous control gene transcript (e.g. ABL1, GUS or BCR) is amplified
along with the fusion transcript of interest. Standard curves of known amounts of
both the control and fusion transcript are used to calculate the ratio of the fusion
transcript signal to the control gene signal.;
