Rearrangements involving NUP98 are often cryptic on conventional karyotype, owing to terminal location of NUP98 on chromosome 11p15.4. Most patients have a normal karyotype. Diagnosis is established using the following tests:
Several common rearrangements involving ''NUP98'' (with ''NSD1'' and ''KDM5A'') are generally cryptic in conventional karyotyping owing to the terminal locations of loci involved, while other rearrangements involving ''NUP98'' may be visible in banded chromosomes.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":1" /> The following techniques may be used to facilitate detection of cryptic rearrangements:


*FISH using NUP98 break-apart probes
*FISH (e.g. locus-specific ''NUP98'' break-apart probe)
*RT-PCR for fusion proteins like NUP98::NSD1
*RT-PCR assays for detection of specific fusions
*RNA sequencing
*RNA sequencing
*Optical Genome Mapping (OGM)
*Optical genome mapping<br />
