Detects small DNA changes not visible by standard karyotyping or FISH.
This technique can be used in the diagnostic investigation of haematological malignancies such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, to detect regions of loss and/or gain of DNA and copy neutral loss of heterozygosity (CNLOH). This test will provide information about the genes involved in regions of copy number alteration. The information provided will assist in diagnosis, prognosis and staging of the malignancy and patient management.
Microarray and targeted FISH analysis has recently been established as the gold standard cytogenomic investigation of CLL.
