&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OVERVIEW&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The Germ Cell Tumor (GCT) Isochromosome 12p test employs fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to identify the presence of an isochromosome 12p in tissue samples obtained from germ cell tumors. This laboratory procedure is instrumental in diagnosing and classifying germ cell tumors by pinpointing genetic abnormalities linked to these neoplasms. It is particularly valuable in situations where conventional histopathological assessments yield inconclusive results. By detecting this specific genetic alteration, the test enhances the accuracy of tumor characterization and aids in determining appropriate treatment strategies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
