A positive result for copy gain of a chromosome in a myeloma FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) panel means that there are extra copies of a part of a chromosome in the myeloma cells. This genetic abnormality can affect the prognosis of multiple myeloma. For example, amplification (copy gain) of part of chromosome 1 is associated with a poorer outcome. It's important to discuss these results with your healthcare team to understand their implications for your specific case.
