What I was trying to say is they all had BMBs and bone marrow cytogenetic studies. A number of those results came back with no chromosomal abnormalities found on FISH analysis. They then proceeded to do peripheral cytogenetics and they found that 23% of those who had tested with normal BMB chromosomes had abnormal results on blood analysis.

At least I think that's what the article said.

I'm assumed that BMB FISH only uses specific probes and blood analysis looks at more chromosomes....would that be right?

This happened to me. My BMB results showed normal cytogenetics but my peripheral blood showed a 15q deletion.
