Test ID LBOR0201 Hematologic Neoplasms, TP53 Somatic Mutation, DNA Sequencing Exons 4-9, Varies

Useful For

Evaluating chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients at diagnosis or during disease course for the presence of TP53 gene variants indicating high risk of disease progression and adverse outcomes

 

This test is not intended for the evaluation of patients suspected of having an inherited or germline TP53 cancer syndrome (eg, Li Fraumeni syndrome)

Testing Algorithm

Flow cytometry will be performed on peripheral blood samples to verify diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and to selectively enrich for B cells in samples with a clonal population.

 

For more information see TP53 Sequencing Testing Algorithm.
