Understanding Your Blood Health: The RUNX1-RUNX1T1 Genetic Test
When you’re concerned about leukaemia or blood disorders, every piece of information matters. The RUNX1-RUNX1T1 (AML1-ETO) t(8;21) Quantitative test is specifically designed to detect a critical genetic abnormality that plays a significant role in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). This isn’t just another blood test – it’s a sophisticated genetic analysis that could provide life-changing insights into your health journey.
What This Test Actually Detects
This advanced genetic test identifies the specific chromosomal translocation between chromosomes 8 and 21, known as the RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion gene. Think of it as finding a specific genetic “misprint” that can trigger abnormal blood cell development. Using cutting-edge Real Time PCR technology, we measure the exact quantity of this genetic abnormality, providing your doctor with precise information about your condition.
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
- Unexplained bruising or bleeding
- Bone pain or tenderness
- Already diagnosed with AML and needing treatment monitoring
- Family history of blood cancers
- Abnormal blood counts that concern your doctor
Why This Matters for Your Health Journey
Early detection of the RUNX1-RUNX1T1 abnormality can be transformative for your treatment approach. This test helps:
- Confirm specific AML subtypes for targeted treatment
- Monitor treatment effectiveness with precision
- Detect early signs of relapse before symptoms appear
- Provide peace of mind through accurate genetic information
- Enable personalised treatment strategies based on your genetic profile
Understanding Your Results Clearly
We know waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. That’s why we provide clear, comprehensive reports that your doctor can easily interpret. Your results will show the quantitative measurement of the RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion gene, helping your healthcare team make informed decisions about your care. Remember – knowledge is power, and understanding your genetic profile is the first step toward effective management.
