Clinical Information

Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with an altered CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (CEBPA) gene is a diagnostic category in the current World Health Organization (WHO) classification of hematopoietic neoplasms.(1) In addition, CEBPA variants on both alleles (so-called double variant status) is considered a good prognostic feature in adults with newly diagnosed AML who have a normal karyotype or do not contain an alternate diagnostic genetic abnormality.(2,3) Thus, evaluation for CEBPA variants is necessary for accurate diagnosis in the current classification system and contributes prognostic information for a large group of AML patients.
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.

Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Total DNA is extracted from the sample and the entire, single exon of CEBPA amplified by polymerase chain reaction followed by Sanger sequencing with evaluation by capillary electrophoresis. Review of the sequence data is performed using a combination of automated calls and manual inspection.(Unpublished Mayo method).

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.
