87436-2
LaboratoryChromosome X and Y aneuploidy in Blood or Tissue by FISH
Definition
Sex chromosome (X & Y) analysis by FISH to determine gender (XY or XX) or presence of aneuploidy in blood or tissue-type specimens, including cheek (buccal) swabs or saliva. For aneuploidy cases, the results of the specific findings (e.g. YY, XYY, XXX, etc.) are reported as well. This document may contain the reason for referral, the specimen source, the overall result (normal/abnormal), the result in ISCN expression (e.g. nuc ish(DXZ1x2)[200]), the interpretation or findings, recommendations, and test method information.
