Fish/PCR testing

[Guest guest]

I was interested in the discussion around PCR testing and wide range

of values obtained. Has anyone used Genzyme Genetics, and if so, how

do they measure up? This is the lab my onc uses. Nick

Hi Nick,

My BMBA test has been sent to Genzyme for almost 5 years now.

I would like to believe that they are accurate.

This lab was the one we used for my diagnosis. The one that indicated PCRU

for a very long time and the one that indicated a slight detection on my

last years BMBA.

I am currently awaiting the results of my last BMBA which was done on the

14th of March and will post them to the group for discussion since I have

recently had one lab indicate no detection, another indicate some detection

and both of these test were done by PB.

Personally, I feel my doc will trust Genzyme results over the others so

hopefully that test will provide good results.

Hi . Thanks for your response. I wish the best for your results.

I get another BMBA in April. I should have results to post at the last

of the month.I hope I didn't make a mistake dropping back from 800 to

600 IM. We'll see. Best wishes, Nick
