Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
IDH1 and IDH2 (isocitrate dehydrogenase: IDH) genes encode enzymes involved in cellular glucose metabolism. Mutations in the IDH genes primarily involve codons R132 in IDH1 and R140 and R172 in IDH2 and lead to the neomorphic ability to generate oncometabolite R(-)-2-hydroxyglutarate, which contributes to tumorigenesis. In central nervous system (CNS) tumors, IDH mutations are a diagnostic molecular biomarker for diffuse gliomas and define two biologically distinct groups: IDH-mutant and IDH-wildtype tumors. IDH mutations are rarely observed in other CNS tumor types and are not seen in CNS reactive non-neoplastic processes. IDH mutations are also a molecular biomarker in non-CNS tumors, including acute myeloid leukemia, cholangiocarcinoma, and cartilaginous tumors. Clinically approved targeted therapies are available for a subset of patients with IDH-mutant acute myeloid leukemia and IDH-mutant cholangiocarcinoma.

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The interpretation of molecular biomarker analysis includes an overview of the results and the associated diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic implications.
Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test cannot differentiate between somatic and germline alterations. Additional testing may be necessary to clarify the significance of results if there is a potential hereditary risk.
DNA variants of uncertain significance may be identified.
A negative result does not rule out the presence of a variant that may be present but below the limits of detection of this assay. The analytical sensitivity of this assay for sequence reportable alterations is 5% mutant allele frequency with a minimum coverage of 500X in a sample with 20% or more tumor content.
Point mutations and small insertion/deletion mutations will be detected in the IDH1 and IDH2 genes only. This test may detect single exon deletions but does not detect multi-exon deletions, duplications or genomic copy number variants.
Variant allele frequency (VAF) is the percentage of sequencing reads supporting a specific variant divided by the total sequencing reads at that position. In somatic testing, VAF should be interpreted in the context of several factors including, but not limited to: tumor purity/heterogeneity/copy number status (ploidy, gains/losses, loss of heterozygosity) and sequencing artifact/misalignment.(1,2)
Rare polymorphisms may be present that could lead to false-negative or false-positive results.
The presence or absence of a variant may not be predictive of response to therapy in all patients.
Test results should be interpreted in the context of clinical, tumor sampling, histopathological, and other laboratory data. If results obtained do not match other clinical or laboratory findings, contact the laboratory for discussion. Misinterpretation of results may occur if the information provided is inaccurate or incomplete.
Reliable results are dependent on adequate specimen collection and processing. This test has been validated on cytology slides and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues; other types of fixatives are discouraged. Improper treatment of tissues, such as decalcification, may cause polymerase chain reaction failure.
Supportive Data
Performance Characteristics:
The limit of detection for calling a somatic variant (single nucleotide variants [SNV] and deletions/insertions [delins, formerly indels]) is 5% variant allele frequency and having at least 500x deduplicated coverage.
Verification studies demonstrated concordance between this test and the reference method for detection of SNV and delins is 99.7% (699/701) and 96.6% (226/234) of variants, respectively. Concordance for the detection of delins was 98.9% (186/188) in variants 1 to 10 base pairs (bp) in size, 95.8% (23/24) in variants 11 to 50 bp in size, and 88.9% (8/9) in variants 51 to 200 bp in size.
