Clinical Information

Somatic (tumor-specific) microsatellite instability (MSI) is assessed by this test. MSI is characterized by numerous alterations in a type of repetitive DNA called microsatellites and occurs as the result of an impaired DNA mismatch repair process. Impaired DNA mismatch repair is a key factor in tumorigenesis and can occur sporadically or as the result of a hereditary cancer predisposition called Lynch syndrome.
Evaluation for MSI may be valuable for clinical decision making. Current data suggest that advanced stage solid tumors with defective DNA mismatch repair (MSI-H) are more likely to respond to treatment with immunotherapies such as anti-PD-1 therapies. Colon cancers that demonstrate defective DNA mismatch repair (MSI-H) have a significantly better prognosis compared to those with intact mismatch repair (MSS/MSI-L). Additionally, current data indicate that stage II and stage III patients with colon cancers characterized by the presence of defective mismatch repair (MSI-H) may not benefit from treatment with fluorouracil alone or in combination with leucovorin. These findings are most likely to impact the management of patients with stage II disease.
MSI analysis, usually in combination with immunohistochemistry staining of the mismatch repair proteins, can also provide helpful diagnostic information in the context of evaluation for Lynch syndrome. See Lynch Syndrome Testing Algorithm.

The report will include specimen information, assay information, and interpretation of test results.
Microsatellite stable (MSS) is reported as MSS (0 or 1 of 7 markers demonstrating instability) or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) (2 or more of 7 markers demonstrating instability).
Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

The finding of tumor microsatellite instability does not distinguish between somatic and germline alterations.
Test results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings, family history, and other laboratory data. Errors in our interpretation of results may occur if information given to us is inaccurate or incomplete.
Supportive Data
A total of 100 accuracy samples were run retrospectively during verification; 55/100 samples were colorectal, 41/100 were endometrial, and the remaining 4/100 were other tumor types. The overall concordance between the Idylla and Promega results was 98/100 (98%). Seventy-nine of 100 samples were microsatellite stable (MSS) by Promega and 77 (97%) had concordant MSS results by Idylla. Twenty-one of 100 samples were microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) by Promega and 21 (100%) had concordant MSI-H results by Idylla.
In addition to the retrospective samples, 100 consecutive samples were prospectively analyzed, of which 58 were colorectal, 31 were endometrial, and 11 were from other tumor types. Seventy-six of 100 samples were MSS by Promega and all (100%) were MSS by the Idylla assay. Twenty-four of 100 samples were MSI-H by Promega. Twenty-three of 24 (96%) of the MSI-H samples were concordant by Idylla. One patient had an uncommon reason for referral (RFR). The discordant sample DNA was rerun on the Promega platform, but there was not sufficient tissue remaining to rerun this specimen on the Idylla assay. After reviewing the results from the 2 runs on Promega, a consensus decision amongst 5 pathologists was reached and the sample was reclassified as equivocal by the Promega assay.
Precision and reproducibility was evaluated by running 3 MSI-H samples and 3 MSS samples in triplicate on the same instrument. Each of these samples had a 4th cartridge run on a separate instrument. There was 100% concordance between replicates from the 3 MSI-H samples and 3 MSS samples.
