Understanding Your Blood Health: The MDS FISH Panel Explained
When unexplained fatigue, frequent infections, or abnormal blood counts raise concerns, it’s natural to feel anxious about potential blood disorders. Our MDS FISH Panel offers clarity and answers through advanced genetic testing that detects specific chromosomal changes associated with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). We understand the emotional journey you’re facing, and we’re here to provide the accurate information you need for informed health decisions.
What Does the MDS FISH Panel Detect?
The MDS FISH Panel is a sophisticated genetic test that examines your bone marrow or blood cells for specific chromosomal abnormalities: del(5q), del(7q), and del(20q). These genetic changes are strongly associated with myelodysplastic syndromes – conditions where your bone marrow doesn’t produce enough healthy blood cells. Think of it as a high-precision map of your blood cell genetics, helping your healthcare team understand exactly what’s happening at the cellular level.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Unexplained fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Frequent infections or slow healing
- Easy bruising or unusual bleeding
- Shortness of breath with minimal exertion
- Persistent pale skin or paleness
- Abnormal blood counts identified in routine testing
If you’ve been diagnosed with MDS or your doctor suspects blood disorders, this test provides critical genetic information for treatment planning.
