What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you or someone you care for has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that shows a normal karyotype on cytogenetic testing. It looks at specific gene changes that help clarify how the disease is likely to behave and respond to treatment. This information is often used alongside other clinical findings to understand risk level and guide treatment decisions.

What's included in this test?

This panel looks at three gene changes that are known to affect how AML behaves and responds to treatment. Each one gives different information: one is linked to better long-term outcomes, one signals a strong response to initial chemotherapy, and one is associated with a more aggressive disease course. Looking at all three together gives a fuller picture of prognosis than any one marker alone.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will be available in your account, with each gene finding explained in plain language along with what a positive or negative result typically means. Because this is a specialized prognostic test tied to an active AML diagnosis, next steps usually involve discussing findings with your treatment team as soon as possible rather than waiting for a routine retest. A downloadable standard lab report is available in your account for your records, and you can track any repeat testing over time using the trends feature.

How can I naturally support my treatment recovery?

While gene mutations like these can't be changed through lifestyle choices, supporting your body during AML treatment can still help you feel better day to day. Eating enough protein and calories, staying hydrated, and resting when needed can help your body handle chemotherapy. Gentle movement, when your care team says it's safe, and avoiding infections by practicing good hygiene are also helpful. These steps support your overall wellbeing but don't replace your prescribed treatment plan.

When will I get my results?

Results for this panel are typically ready within about 7 days after your sample is collected. Because this test involves detailed genetic analysis, it takes a bit longer than routine bloodwork. You'll be notified as soon as your results are posted to your account.

Who should consider this test?

This test is meant for people who have already been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and whose cancer cells show a normal karyotype (no visible chromosome abnormalities under standard testing). It's typically ordered as part of a broader diagnostic workup rather than as a general screening test. If you're unsure whether this applies to your situation, check with your treatment team before ordering.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

This isn't a symptom-based screening test — it's used after an AML diagnosis has already been made, often through a bone marrow biopsy or blood count abnormalities. Symptoms that typically lead to an AML diagnosis include unusual fatigue, easy bruising or bleeding, frequent infections, and unexplained weight loss. If you're experiencing these symptoms and haven't been diagnosed yet, this specific panel isn't the right starting point.

What does a positive FLT3 result mean?

A positive FLT3 internal tandem duplication result means this particular gene change is present in the leukemia cells, which is generally associated with a shorter disease-free period and a higher chance of relapse. This doesn't mean treatment won't work, but it may influence how aggressively the condition is monitored and treated. Discuss this finding with your treatment team so it can be factored into your overall care plan.

What does a positive NPM1 result mean?

A positive NPM1 mutation, especially without a FLT3 mutation present, is generally considered good news. It's linked to a better response to initial chemotherapy and a more favorable long-term outlook. This result is often used to help decide how intensive treatment needs to be.

How often should I retest?

This panel is typically run once at diagnosis to establish baseline prognostic information, since these gene mutations are used to characterize the original leukemia rather than being routinely rechecked. Your treatment team may recommend related testing (such as minimal residual disease monitoring) at different points during treatment. Repeat testing of this specific panel is uncommon unless there's a clinical reason, such as relapse or a new diagnosis.
