Test Overview
Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
To detect genetic polymorphism between the patient (recipient) and the donor prior to the bone marrow transplant, in order to evaluate the engraftment status after the transplant.
Interpretive report provided.
If the patient has a very low white blood cell count, the DNA yield may be insufficient to complete the analysis. In order to perform this test, both the patient's pre-transplant and the donor's specimen must be available.
