Experiences with

Genetic test

Hello CLL fellows and Specialists, Hematologists I want to share my experience here. We have been fortunate to meet Dr. Christen Chen at the Princes Margaret Cancer Hospital in Toronto. She is very kind and friendly. She has ordered several tests one of them is a FISH test and it is reported as trisomy

Good morning, did any of you do a genetic test? In my case, my son has developed the disease and only I am a carrier, his father is not. I have been reading that to realize a child with the disease at least both parents have to be carriers. It is possible that very little is still known...

I received results from the Guardant360 and it shows 7.74 tumor mutation burden. What does this mean and how it affect my treatment. I appreciate any feedback. Thank you all.

ugh my genetic test results are in and I have to wait 2 weeks for the results why?? Ugg

One of her first comments was that she felt my husband should have a FISH sperm genetic test - as i've had miscarriage both naturally, via IVF and via donor cycle. Apart from being slightly annoyed that no other doctor has mentioned this to me, I'm now just trying to move forward.

I've been waiting 6 weeks for the results of genetic tests of my prostate tumour biopsy sample and blood to see if I qualify for the Amplitude clinical trial. They finally came through today but were disappointing in that they have told me very little! (Apart from I'm not eligible for the trial). The

Fast forward to today when I received the results back from a COLOR genetic test on a saliva sample. In this test they reported finding a CHEK2 mutation. I did the COLOR test as part of the Promise study. So the question is shouldn’t both genetic marker tests detect this mutation?

The PSA was rising on me, Urologist did the genetic test, "LI-Fraumeni syndrome" is the curse.Aged 44 years and had radical Prostectomy on birthday. PSA went zero for a bit, then started rising. PET scan shows meta in rt pelvis, 2 lymph and a lesion. Oncology start the Lupron and Xtandia bullshit.

The outcome of the genetic test will determine, among other factors, whether you may qualify for LUMA or LIGHTHOUSE." https://www.parkinsonsresearchstudies.com/?

Did a genetic test, but nothing from that area indicated any other possible genes. Thanks

I did a genetic test to discover why my kidneys failed at the age of 49. It turns out I have Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD). UMOD version. It, for now, is considered a rare disease, but many more people may have this genetic disease and not know it.

I also got a genetic test done for my son to see what medications his body would metabolise better that others in case he needs them. I was told it is not exact but it can be a helpful guide as to which meds might work better than others for him.

We are meeting with a Genetic Councillor who will guide us on the appropriate GENETIC TEST ( whole exome sequencing) to confirm if he has indeed been misdiagnosed.

In that case, this genetic test will help your doctor determine the correct remedy for you according to the resulting DNA.

Then you may be able to help and consider yourself eligible to take part in a one-to-one interview over the phone or via Zoom, whereby you will be invited to share your experience \ responsibilities upon receiving your genetic test results.
