Understanding Your Eosinophilic Concerns
When your blood tests show persistently high eosinophil levels, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. The FISH Eosinophilic Leukaemia Panel is designed specifically to provide the answers you need during this challenging time. This advanced genetic test goes beyond standard blood counts to examine the chromosomal level, offering definitive insights into eosinophilic disorders that can transform your treatment journey.
What This Test Detects
The FISH methodology examines four critical genetic regions associated with eosinophilic leukaemia and related disorders:
- PDGFRA (4q12) – Identifies mutations linked to chronic eosinophilic leukaemia
- PDGFRB (5q33) – Detects abnormalities in platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta
- FGFR1 (8p12) – Screens for fibroblast growth factor receptor mutations
- CBFB (inv16) – Examines core-binding factor beta gene inversions
Who Should Consider This Test
This test provides crucial answers if you’re experiencing:
- Persistently elevated eosinophil counts in blood tests
- Unexplained fatigue, night sweats, or weight loss
- Recurrent infections or unusual bruising
- Enlarged spleen or lymph nodes
- Previous inconclusive blood work for eosinophilic disorders
- Family history of haematological conditions
Why Early Detection Matters
Identifying specific genetic abnormalities early can significantly impact your treatment options and outcomes. Many eosinophilic leukaemias with PDGFRA or PDGFRB mutations respond exceptionally well to targeted therapies, potentially avoiding more aggressive treatments. This test provides the genetic roadmap your haematologist needs to create the most effective, personalised treatment plan for your specific condition.
Understanding Your Results
Your results will clearly indicate whether specific chromosomal abnormalities are present. Our team provides comprehensive explanations in language you can understand, and we work closely with your referring doctor to ensure seamless integration into your care plan. Remember – a positive result often means access to targeted treatments with better outcomes and fewer side effects.
