Abstract
Cytogenomic analyses of acquired clonal chromosomal abnormalities in neoplastic blood, bone marrow, and/or lymph nodes are instrumental in the clinical management of patients with hematologic neoplasms. Cytogenetic analyses assist in the diagnosis of such disorders and can provide important prognostic information. Furthermore, cytogenetic studies can provide crucial information regarding specific genetically defined subtypes of these neoplasms that may have targeted therapies. At time of relapse, cytogenetic analysis can confirm recurrence of the original neoplasm, detect clonal disease evolution, or uncover a new unrelated neoplastic process. This section deals specifically with the technical standards applicable to cytogenomic studies of acquired clonal chromosomal abnormalities in neoplastic blood, bone marrow, and/or lymph nodes. This updated Section E6.1-6.6 supersedes the previous Section E6 in Section E: Clinical Cytogenetics of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics Technical Standards for Clinical Genetics Laboratories.
