LaboratoryChromosome 19 polysomy [Presence] in Tissue by FISH
Definition
This test determines if chromosome 19 polysomy is present in tissue (tumor) specimens. Polysomy is defined as 3 or more signals for 1q and/or 19p in >30% of tumor cells with concurrent 1p/19q deletion.[PMID: 19808867] Chromosome 19 polysomy is a prognostic indicator of poorer outcome for oligodendroglioma patients.
