HelpTest ID LBOR0170 Chromosomal Microarray, Hematologic Disorders, Varies
Useful For
Detection and characterization of clonal copy number imbalance and loss of heterozygosity associated with hematologic neoplasms
Assisting in the diagnosis and classification of certain hematologic neoplasms
Evaluating the prognosis for patients with certain hematologic neoplasms
Specimen Type
VariesOrdering Guidance
This test is not appropriate for detecting constitutional/congenital copy number changes or regions of excessive homozygosity. If this test is ordered with a reason for testing indicating a constitutional/congenital disorder, the test will be canceled and CMACB / Chromosomal Microarray, Congenital, Blood will be added and performed as the appropriate test.

Test Classification
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Mayo Clinic in a manner consistent with CLIA requirements. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.Forms
If not ordering electronically, complete, print, and send a Hematopathology/Cytogenetics Test Request (T726) with the specimen.
Special Instructions
Testing Algorithm
DNA extraction is always performed on the specimen prior to hybridization to the microarray. An unstimulated cell culture will be set up on all specimens with adequate volume and held pending additional testing. If additional testing is requested, such as karyotype analysis or fluorescence in situ hybridization, it will be performed at an additional charge.
The following algorithms are available:
