Testing Algorithm

This test does not include a pathology consult. If a pathology consultation is requested, PATHC / Pathology Consultation should be ordered, and the appropriate fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test will be performed at an additional charge.

 

This test includes a charge for application of the first probe set (2 FISH probes) and professional interpretation of results. Additional charges will be incurred for all reflex probes 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.

 

The test panel includes analysis for the disease-associated abnormalities using the probes listed below:

t(8;21), [M2], RUNX1T1/RUNX1

t(11q23;var), [M0-M7], MLL (KMT2A)

inv(16), [M4, Eos], MYH11/CBFB

t(15;17), [M3], PML/RARA

t(9;22), BCR/ABL1

 

If the patient is being treated for known abnormalities, indicate which probes should be used.

 

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.

Necessary Information


A reason for referral and pathology report are required in order for testing to be performed. Send information with specimen. Acceptable pathology reports include working drafts, preliminary pathology or surgical pathology reports.



Specimen Required


Specimen Type: Tissue

Preferred: Tissue block

Collection Instructions: Submit a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue block. Blocks prepared with alternative fixation methods may be acceptable; provide fixation method used.

Acceptable: Slides

Collection Instructions: For each probe set ordered, 2 consecutive, unstained, 5 micron-thick sections placed on positively charged slides, and 1 hematoxylin and eosin-stained slide.


Specimen Minimum Volume

For each probe set ordered, 2 consecutive, unstained, 5 micron-thick sections placed on positively charged slides.
Include 1 hematoxylin and eosin (H and E)-stained slide.

Specimen Stability Information

Specimen Type Temperature Time Special Container
Tissue Ambient (preferred)
  Refrigerated 

Reference Values

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation

A neoplastic clone is detected when the percent of cells with an abnormality exceeds the normal reference range for a given probe set.

 

A positive result supports the diagnosis of a myeloid sarcoma.

 

A negative result does not exclude the diagnosis of a myeloid sarcoma.
