This assay requires at least 20% tumor nuclei.
-Preferred amount of tumor area with sufficient percent tumor nuclei: tissue144 mm(2)
-Minimum amount of tumor area: tissue 36 mm(2).
-These amounts are cumulative over up to 10 unstained slides and must have adequate percent tumor nuclei.
-Tissue fixation: 10% neutral buffered formalin, not decalcified
-For specimen preparation guidance, see Tissue Requirement for Solid Tumor Next-Generation Sequencing in Special Instructions. In this document, the sizes are given as 4mm x 4mm x 10 slides as preferred: approximate/equivalent to 144 mm(2) and the minimum as 3mm x 1mm x 10 slides: approximate/equivalent to 36mm(2).
Preferred:
Specimen Type: Tissue block
Collection Instructions: Submit a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue block with acceptable amount of tumor tissue.
Acceptable:
Specimen Type: Tissue slide
Slides: 1 stained and 10 unstained
Collection Instructions: Submit 1 slide stained with hematoxylin and eosin and 10 unstained, nonbaked slides with 5-micron thick sections of the tumor tissue.
Note: The total amount of required tumor nuclei can be obtained by scraping up to 10 slides from the same block.
Specimen Type: Cytology slide (direct smears or ThinPrep)
Slides: 1 to 3 slides
Collection Instructions: Submit 1 to 3 slides stained and cover slipped with a preferred total minimum of 5000 total nucleated cells, minimum of 3000 nucleated cells.
Note: Glass coverslips are preferred; plastic coverslips are acceptable but will result in longer turnaround times.
Additional Information: Cytology slides will not be returned.

Clinical Information

The estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) gene encodes an estrogen receptor that regulates cell growth through activation of downstream signaling pathways upon binding of estrogen. Tumors demonstrating estrogen receptor expression (ER-positive) are candidates for endocrine therapy such as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM) and aromatase inhibitors. ESR1 mutations are rarely observed in primary tumors; however, mutations in the ligand-binding domain of ESR1 have been reported at a higher frequency in ER-positive metastatic breast tumors. Preclinical data suggests that ESR1 mutations mitigate resistance to aromatase inhibitors and decrease sensitivity to SERMs and estrogen-receptor downregulators. Studies also suggest that ESR1 mutations are an independent indicator of poor prognosis.
This test assesses for somatic mutations in the ligand-binding domain of the ESR1 gene associated with acquired resistance to endocrine therapy (ie, aromatase inhibitors) in patients with ER-positive metastatic breast cancer.

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 (wild-type) result does not rule out the presence of a mutation that may be present but below the limits of detection of this assay.
Point mutations and small insertion/deletion mutations will be detected with in the ESR1 gene only. This test does not detect large single or multiexon deletions, or duplications or genomic copy number variants.
Rare polymorphisms may be present that could lead to false-negative or false-positive results. Test results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings, tumor sampling and other laboratory data.
If results obtained do not match other clinical or laboratory findings, contact the laboratory for updated interpretation. 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 PCR failure.
Supportive Data
This next-generation sequencing assay detects somatic mutations that can be used to assist in the clinical management of metastatic breast cancer patients.
This assay has been shown to be very reproducible, having a 100% concordance for intra- and interassay reproducibility experiments. All somatic mutations that had been previously identified by various other molecular methods were detected by this assay during accuracy studies. No pathogenic variants were detected in known mutation negative samples.
