Trisomy 8 near me in Warangal

Trisomy 8 is relatively specific for myeloid disorders and is rarely observed in lymphoid disease. It is found in 10-15% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 15-20% of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), as a secondary abnormality in Philadelphia chromosome-positive CML, and another myeloproliferative disorder. Trisomy 8 occurs as the sole chromosome abnormality in about 40% of AML cases, occurs in combination with simple chromosome changes in 35% of cases, and as part of a complex karyotype in 25% of AML patients. This test uses the FISH technique to detect Trisomy 8.
