Test Code BAKDM BCR/ABL1, Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Resistance, Kinase Domain Mutation Screen, Sanger Sequencing, Varies
Reporting Name
BCR/ABL1 Mutation, SequencingUseful For
Evaluating patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia and Philadelphia chromosome positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy, who are apparently failing treatment
Preferred initial test to identify the presence of acquired BCR-ABL1 mutations associated with TKI-resistance
Testing Algorithm
If BCR/ABL1 fusion type (p210, p190, p205 or p230) is not provided, BADX / BCR/ABL1, Qualitative, Diagnostic Assay, Varies will be performed at an additional charge.
In the event that no fusion form (p190, p205, p210, p230) is identified by qualitative testing, this test will be canceled.
