Identifying prognostic markers based on the abnormalities found

Reflex Tests Lists tests that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial tests.

Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

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.

 

This test is designed for diagnostic specimens.

 

Indicate if the entire panel is to be performed. If the patient is being tracked for known abnormalities, indicate which probes should be used.

 

Panel includes testing for the following abnormalities using the probes listed:

-13/13q-, RB1/LAMP1

t(11;14), CCND1/IGH

14q32 rearrangement, IGH

17p-, TP53/D17Z1

+3/+7, D3Z1/D7Z1

+9/+15, D9Z1/D15Z4

1q gain, TP73/1q22

8q24,1 rearrangement, MYC

 

When an IGH rearrangement is identified, reflex testing is performed to identify the translocation partner. Probes include identification of t(4;14)(p16.3;q32) FGFR3/IGH, t(14;16)(q32;q23) IGH/MAF, t(14;20)(q32;q12), IGH/MAFB or t(6;14)(p21;q32) CCND3/IGH.

 

If fresh tissue is submitted, MFCF will be cancelled and PCPDF / Plasma Cell Proliferative Disorder (PCPD), FISH will be performed as the appropriate test.
