LOINC short name : dic(9;20)(wcp9 ,wcp20 ) Bld/T FISH;
LOINC description : FISH techniques, such as whole chromosome painting (WCP) using a mixture of probes,
is performed to identify a rare dicentric chromosome abnormality, dic(9;20)(p11-13;q11).
This abnormality occurs in leukemia patients and may be specifically associated with
acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The presence of the aberration is important for
coordinating adequate therapy. The submitter's lab reports the X number of cells that
have the probe deletion out of Y number of cells, which is usually 100% when present.
Results are typically reported in ISCN (International System for Human Cytogenetic
Nomenclature) format.;
