Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
ETV6 rearrangement has been identified in a wide variety of neoplasms including mammary analogue secretory carcinoma, secretory carcinoma of the breast, and infantile fibrosarcoma.
Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A neoplastic clone is detected when the percent of cells with an abnormality exceeds the normal cutoff for the ETV6 fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probe set.
A positive result is consistent with the presence of ETV6 rearrangement and likely reflects ETV6 fusion with a partner gene. The significance of this FISH result is dependent on clinical and pathologic features.
A negative result does not exclude the presence of a neoplastic disorder.
Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and is best used as an adjunct to existing clinical and pathologic information.
Fixatives other than formalin (eg, Prefer, Bouin's) may not be successful for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays. Non-formalin fixed specimens will not be rejected.
Paraffin-embedded tissues that have been decalcified may not be successful for FISH analysis. The success rate of FISH studies on decalcified tissue is approximately 50%, but FISH will be attempted if sufficient tumor is present for analysis.
If no FISH signals are observed post-hybridization, the case will be released indicating a lack of FISH results.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
The test is performed using a laboratory-developed ETV6 (12p13.2) dual-color, break-apart strategy probe (BAP). Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues are cut at 5 microns and mounted on positively charged glass slides. The selection of tissue and the identification of target areas on the hematoxylin and eosin (H and E)-stained slide are performed by a pathologist. Using the H and E-stained slide as a reference, target areas are etched with a diamond-tipped engraving tool on the back of the unstained slide to be assayed. The probe set is hybridized to the appropriate target areas, and 2 technologists independently analyze 50 interphase nuclei (100 total) with the results expressed as the percent of abnormal nuclei.(Unpublished Mayo method).
