-Sample pickup by NeoGenomics: twice daily M-F (noon and 5:45-6:15 pm). Besides these pickups, STAT pickup can be done by calling 866.776.5907 (option 3, giving client account number: 17336 for Memorial Hermann-TMC). Put sample in usual flow sample box at lab window.

-Local Houston flow cytometry lab, operating Monday-Sat: 7256 South Sam Houston Parkway West, Suite 300 Houston, TX 77085; phone 866 776 5907

 

Cytogenetics, FISH, and PCR/NGS (G, global)

NOTES: for patient already in remission, we will just order tests to cover known positive abnormalities from previous diagnostic bone marrow (translocations, mutations, etc). Only for patients still refractory or with relapse we would order all tests as for new cases to cover any genomic evolution that yield new abnormalities.

-Note:

(1) for difficult APL cases, call Neogenomics to request for a STAT FISH testing for the PML/RARA component. It can be done on the same day of Neogenomics receiving the sample in their lab. The other FISH tests in the AML panel can be completed later. Note STAT along with MD contact name and phone number to receive STAT results.
