Test Code EOSFD Chronic Eosinophilia Panel, Diagnostic FISH, Varies
Ordering Guidance
This test is intended for instances when the complete chronic eosinophilia fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) panel is needed.
If limited chronic eosinophilia FISH probes are preferred, order EOSMF / Chronic Eosinophilia, Specified FISH, Varies, and request specific probes for targeted abnormalities.
At follow-up, targeted chronic eosinophilia probes can be evaluated based on the abnormalities identified in the diagnostic study. Order EOSMF/ Chronic Eosinophilia, Specified FISH, Varies. and request specific probes for targeted abnormalities.
FISH testing using paraffin embedded tissue samples is not available for these probe sets.

Necessary Information
1. A reason for testing must be provided. If this information is not provided, an appropriate indication for testing may be entered by Mayo Clinic Laboratories.
2. A flow cytometry and/or a bone marrow pathology report should be submitted with each specimen. The laboratory will not reject testing if this information is not provided, but appropriate testing and interpretation may be compromised or delayed.

Useful For
Detecting a neoplastic clone associated with the common chromosome abnormalities seen in patients with myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and gene rearrangement (including PDGFRA, PDGFRB, FGFR1, JAK2, ABL1 and FLT3) using a laboratory-designated probe set algorithm
Supporting the diagnosis of malignancy if a clone is present
Evaluating specimens in which standard cytogenetic analysis is unsuccessful
Testing Algorithm
This test includes a charge for the probe application, analysis, and professional interpretation of results for 6 probe sets (13 individual fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH] probes). Additional charges will be incurred for all reflex or additional probe sets performed. Analysis charges will be incurred based on the number of cells analyzed per probe set. If no cells are available for analysis, no analysis charges will be incurred.
This test is performed as panel testing only using the following analysis algorithm.
The panel includes testing for the following kinase activating chromosome abnormalities, using the following FISH probes:
4q12 deletion or rearrangement, FIP1L1, CHIC2, PDGFRA break-apart probe set
t(5q32;var) or PDGFRB rearrangement, PDGFRB break-apart probe set
t(8p11.2;var) or FGFR1 rearrangement, FGFR1 break-apart probe set
t(9p24.1;var) or JAK2 rearrangement, JAK2 break-apart probe set
t(9q34;var) or ABL1 rearrangement, ABL1 break-apart probe set
t(13q12.2;var) or FLT3 rearrangement, FLT3 break-apart probe set
In the absence of a CHIC2 deletion, if an extra or atypical CHIC2 or PDGFRA signal is identified, reflex testing will be performed using the PDGFRA break-apart probe set to evaluate for the presence or absence of a PDGFRA rearrangement.
If an ABL1 rearrangement is identified, reflex testing using the ABL1/BCR probe set will be performed to evaluate for the presence or absence of t(9;22)(q34;q11.2) - BCR::ABL1 fusion.
Appropriate ancillary probes may be performed at consultant discretion to render comprehensive assessment. Any additional probes will have the results included within the final report and will be performed at an additional charge.

Interpretation
A neoplastic clone is detected when the percent of cells with an abnormality exceeds the normal reference range for any given probe set.
The absence of an abnormal clone does not rule out the presence of a neoplastic disorder.
