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 is designed for diagnostic specimens from patients with multiple myeloma or other plasma cell proliferative disorders.
This test includes a charge for application of the first probe set (2 fluorescence in situ hybridization: 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.
For diagnostic samples, all probes in the initial panel will be evaluated. The initial panel includes testing for the following abnormalities using the probes listed:
17p-, TP53/D17Z1
1q gain, TP73/1q22
14q32 rearrangement, IGH
t(11;14), CCND1/IGH
8q24.1 rearrangement, MYC
-13/13q-, RB1/LAMP1
+9/+15, D9Z1/D15Z4
+3/+7, D3Z1/D7Z1
Based on the results from the initial panel, reflex testing may be performed to identify the following abnormalities using the probes listed:
t(14;16)(q32;q23) IGH/MAF
t(4;14)(p16.3;q32) FGFR3/IGH
t(14;20)(q32;q12) IGH/MAFB
t(6;14)(p21;q32) CCND3/IGH
For follow-up samples, only TP73/1q22, TP53/D17Z1 and MYC probes, along with a single probe that was abnormal in a previous study, will be tested. If a previous sample was uninformative due to an insufficient number of plasma cells, analysis will begin with the initial panel.
If the standard algorithm is not desired, please indicate which probes should be used.
