BCR-ABL Gene Rearrangement PCR Qualitative Test: Cost, Symptoms, and Diagnosis
BCR-ABL gene rearrangement is a genetic abnormality that occurs in some blood cells. This abnormality is associated with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and some types of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). To test for the presence of BCR-ABL gene rearrangement, a PCR qualitative test is required. DNA Labs India offers this test at a cost of INR 5000.
What is BCR-ABL Gene Rearrangement?
BCR-ABL gene rearrangement is a genetic abnormality that occurs when the BCR (breakpoint cluster region) gene on chromosome 22 and the ABL (Abelson) gene on chromosome 9 swap genetic material. This fusion creates a new gene, called the BCR-ABL gene. The BCR-ABL gene produces a protein that promotes the uncontrolled growth of white blood cells, leading to leukemia.
What are the Symptoms of BCR-ABL Gene Rearrangement?
The symptoms of BCR-ABL gene rearrangement depend on the type of leukemia it causes. In CML, symptoms may include:
- Fatigue
- Weight loss
- Abdominal pain or discomfort
- Sweating, especially at night
- Fever
- Enlarged spleen
In ALL, symptoms may include:
- Fever
- Weakness
- Pale skin
- Bleeding and bruising easily
- Pain in the bones or joints
- Swollen lymph nodes
How is BCR-ABL Gene Rearrangement Diagnosed?
BCR-ABL gene rearrangement is diagnosed using a PCR qualitative test. This test detects the presence of the BCR-ABL gene in a sample of blood or bone marrow. PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a technique that amplifies a specific region of DNA, making it easier to detect. A qualitative PCR test determines whether the BCR-ABL gene is present or absent in the sample. If the gene is present, it is an indication of BCR-ABL gene rearrangement and possible leukemia.
Conclusion
PCR qualitative test for BCR-ABL gene rearrangement is crucial for the diagnosis of leukemia. It helps in identifying the type of leukemia and the required treatment. DNA Labs India offers this test at an affordable cost of INR 5000. If you are experiencing symptoms of leukemia or have a family history of the disease, it is essential to get tested for BCR-ABL gene rearrangement.
