Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Leukemia
When concerns about blood disorders or leukemia arise, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our MLL-ENL PCR test provides the clarity you need to make informed decisions about your health. This specialised genetic screening detects specific chromosomal changes that are crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
What This Test Detects
The MLL-ENL PCR test identifies a specific genetic translocation between chromosomes 11 and 19. This chromosomal abnormality is associated with certain types of acute leukemia, particularly in children and young adults. By detecting this genetic marker early, your healthcare team can develop targeted treatment strategies that may improve outcomes.
Using advanced Real-Time PCR technology, our test provides highly sensitive detection of this specific genetic rearrangement, offering reliable results that guide critical medical decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your loved one experiences:
- Unexplained fatigue, weakness, or pale skin
- Frequent infections or slow healing
- Unexplained bruising or bleeding
- Bone or joint pain
- Swollen lymph nodes or abdominal discomfort
- Family history of blood disorders or leukemia
- Abnormal blood test results requiring further investigation
Early detection through genetic screening can be life-changing, providing the information needed for timely intervention.
