Useful For
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Detecting a neoplastic clone associated with the common chromosome abnormalities seen in patients with myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and gene rearrangement (including PDGFRA, PDGFRB, FGFR1, JAK2, ABL1 and FLT3) using a laboratory-designated probe set algorithm

 

Supporting the diagnosis of malignancy if a clone is present

 

Evaluating specimens in which standard cytogenetic analysis is unsuccessful

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

This test includes a charge for the probe application, analysis, and professional interpretation of results for 6 probe sets (13 individual fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH] probes). Additional charges will be incurred for all reflex or additional probe sets 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 performed as panel testing only using the following analysis algorithm.

 

The panel includes testing for the following kinase activating chromosome abnormalities, using the following FISH probes:

4q12 deletion or rearrangement, FIP1L1, CHIC2, PDGFRA break-apart probe set

t(5q32;var) or PDGFRB rearrangement, PDGFRB break-apart probe set

t(8p11.2;var) or FGFR1 rearrangement, FGFR1 break-apart probe set

t(9p24.1;var) or JAK2 rearrangement, JAK2 break-apart probe set

t(9q34;var) or ABL1 rearrangement, ABL1 break-apart probe set

t(13q12.2;var) or FLT3 rearrangement, FLT3 break-apart probe set

 

In the absence of a CHIC2 deletion, if an extra or atypical CHIC2 or PDGFRA signal is identified, reflex testing will be performed using the PDGFRA break-apart probe set to evaluate for the presence or absence of a PDGFRA rearrangement.

 

If an ABL1 rearrangement is identified, reflex testing using the ABL1/BCR probe set will be performed to evaluate for the presence or absence of t(9;22)(q34;q11.2) - BCR::ABL1 fusion.

 

Appropriate ancillary probes may be performed at consultant discretion to render comprehensive assessment. Any additional probes will have the results included within the final report and will be performed at an additional charge.

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

The myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and rearrangements of PDGFRA, PDGFRB, FGFR1, JAK2, and FLT3 represent a significantly diverse group of hematologic malignancies. Despite the disparate clinical presentations, which include chronic myeloid neoplasms (chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms, chronic eosinophilic leukemia) versus more acute myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms (acute myeloid leukemia, B- and T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma and mixed phenotypic acute leukemias), this diagnostic subgroup shares rearrangements involving 5 specific gene regions: PDGFRA, PDGFRB, FGFR1, JAK2 and FLT3.

 

While conventional chromosome studies may detect many of the rearrangements associated with these gene rearrangements, several are cytogenetically "cryptic," including the most common abnormality involving PDGFRA activation. This one megabase submicroscopic, intrachromosomal deletion results in loss of the CHIC2 gene region with subsequent fusion of neighboring genes FIP1L1 and PDGFRA. In addition to this more common, cryptic deletion, the PDGFRA gene has many translocation partners described (at least 15) that similarly result in PDGFRA upregulation.

 

The PDGFRB, FGFR1, and JAK2 gene regions similarly have numerous translocation/inversion partners described, at least 50 for PDGFRB, 10 for FGFR1, and 40 for JAK2. Despite the significant heterogeneity in gene partners, the identification of PDGFRA, PDGFRB, FGFR1, and JAK2 rearrangements is critical for disease categorization and potential therapeutic intervention. Both PDGFRA and PDGFRB have the potential for response to targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapies such as imatinib mesylate. Similarly, JAK2 rearrangements have the potential for response to targeted inhibitor therapy. Rearrangements of FGFR1 are typically more aggressive and less responsive to targeted inhibitors.

 

While not formally included in the World Health Organization categorization of myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with PDGFRA, PDGFRB, FGFR1, or JAK2 rearrangements, rearrangements of the ABL1 gene other than with the BCR locus, can result in similar clinical phenotypes. Thus, the ABL1 gene region has been included in this fluorescence in situ hybridization panel evaluation to appropriately interrogate this gene region, particularly since these patients may not be identified by conventional karyotype analysis and may significantly benefit from targeted tyrosine kinase therapies.

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.

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

A neoplastic clone is detected when the percent of cells with an abnormality exceeds the normal reference range for any given probe set.

 

The absence of an abnormal clone does not rule out the presence of a neoplastic disorder.

Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

This test is not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, and it is best used as an adjunct to clinical and pathologic information.

 

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is not a substitute for conventional chromosome studies because the latter detects chromosome abnormalities associated with other hematological disorders that would be missed by this FISH panel test.

 

Bone marrow is the preferred sample type for this FISH test. If bone marrow is not available, a blood specimen may be used if there are neoplastic cells in the blood specimen (as verified by a hematopathologist).

If no FISH signals are observed post-hybridization, the case will be released indicating a lack of FISH results.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

This test is performed using commercially available and laboratory-developed probes. Rearrangements or deletions involving CHIC2, PDGFRA, PDGFRB, FGFR1, JAK2, ABL1, and FLT3 are detected using a tri or dual-color break-apart (BAP) strategy probe set. A dual-color, dual-fusion fluorescence in situ hybridization (D-FISH) strategy probe set is used in reflex testing when rearrangements of the ABL1 gene are detected. For enumeration and BAP strategy probe sets, 100 interphase nuclei are scored; 200 interphase nuclei are scored when D-FISH probes are used. All results are expressed as the percent abnormal nuclei.(Unpublished Mayo method)
