Understanding Your Genetic Blueprint: Del17p(p53) Testing for Multiple Myeloma and CLL
When facing a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia, understanding your genetic profile becomes more than just medical information – it becomes your roadmap to effective treatment. We know the uncertainty and anxiety that comes with cancer diagnosis, and we’re here to provide the clarity and confidence you need through precise genetic testing.
What Does the Del17p(p53) Test Detect?
The Del17p(p53) test is a specialised genetic analysis that looks for deletions in chromosome 17, specifically affecting the p53 tumour suppressor gene. Think of p53 as your body’s natural cancer defence system – when this gene is missing or damaged, cancer cells can grow more aggressively and become resistant to certain treatments.
Using advanced FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation) technology, our test provides crystal-clear genetic information that helps your oncology team understand your specific cancer characteristics and plan the most effective treatment approach.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you:
- Have been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia
- Are experiencing treatment resistance or disease progression
- Want to understand your prognosis and treatment options more clearly
- Are considering targeted therapy or clinical trial participation
- Have a family history of blood cancers or genetic disorders
Early genetic profiling can make a significant difference in treatment outcomes and quality of life.
