Test Code Billings Clinic: 9343 B-Cell Clonality Assessment, PCR

Performing Laboratory

NeoGenomics Laboratory

Useful For

B-cell clonality assessment by IgH-specific PCR indentifies B-cell populations highly suggestive of B-cell malignancies and may determine the lineage of leukemias and lymphomas.

 

Methodology

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

Specimen Requirements
