The primary uses of flow cytometry in the evaluation of hematologic disorders are to:
A) Detect the presence of clonality and diagnose and classify malignant lymphomas and leukemias
B) Classify anemias associated with defective hemoglobin synthesis
C) Identify specific genetic rearrangements
D) Detect chromosomal alterations

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flow cytometry is commonly used in the diagnosis and classification of malignant lymphomas and leukemias by detecting the presence of clonality in hematologic disorders. Other uses, such as identifying genetic rearrangements and detecting chromosomal alterations, may require additional tests or techniques beyond flow cytometry. While anemias can also be tested using flow cytometry, it is not specific to anemias associated with defective hemoglobin synthesis.
