Hi amiezf,

Have you taken a cytogenetics / FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) test for your mom? It is test where samples are taken from bone marrow as well as blood. It shows chromosome abnormalities and will likely determine the severity of the disease and its progression to severe conditions.
