Clinical Information

Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) is the nonleukemic form of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most common adult leukemia in North America. The most common cytogenetic abnormalities detected in CLL are deletions of 6q, 11q, 13q, and 17p, trisomy 12, and the occasional occurrence of IGH translocations at 14q32. Cytogenetics has proven to be a reliable predictor of outcome for patients with CLL. It is unknown if SLL has the same prognostic significance when these genetic abnormalities are observed.
This FISH test detects an abnormal clone in approximately 65% of patients with SLL. Patients with t(11;14)(q13;q32) associated with CCND1/IGH fusion, have mantle cell lymphoma which can be distinguished from SLL and other B-cell lymphomas with this assay. Patients with t(14;19)(q32;q13.3) associated with IGH/BCL3 fusion, may have an atypical form of SLL or another low-grade B-cell lymphoma.

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.
A positive result is not diagnostic for small lymphocytic lymphoma, but may provide relevant prognostic information.
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 U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and it is best used as an adjunct to existing clinical and pathologic information.
Fixatives other than formalin (eg, Prefer, Bouin) may not be successful for FISH assays, however nonformalin-fixed samples will not be rejected.
Paraffin-embedded tissues that have been decalcified are generally unsuccessful for FISH analysis. The pathologist reviewing the hematoxylin and eosin-stained slide may find it necessary to cancel testing.
Supportive Data
Each probe was independently tested on a set of 62 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens from patients diagnosed with small lymphocytic lymphoma, splenic marginal zone lymphoma, or lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma and a set of noncancerous lymph node specimens. Normal cutoffs were calculated based on the results from 25 normal specimens. For each probe set, a series of chromosomally abnormal specimens were evaluated to confirm each probe set detected the anomaly it was designed to detect.

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. Deletion of chromosomes 6q, 11q, 13q, and 17p, and trisomy of chromosome 12 are detected using enumeration strategy probes. A dual-color, dual-fusion (D-FISH) strategy probe set is used to detect CCND1/IGH rearrangements and for reflex testing to identify BCL3/IGH rearrangements. Paraffin-embedded tissues are cut at 5 microns and mounted on positively charged glass slides. The selection of tissue and the identification of target areas on the hematoxylin and eosin (H and E)-stained slide is performed by a pathologist. Using the H and E-stained slide as a reference, target areas are etched with a diamond-tipped etcher on the back of the unstained slide to be assayed. For each probe set, the probes are hybridized to the appropriate target areas and 2 technologists each analyze 50 interphase nuclei (100 total) with the results expressed as the percent abnormal nuclei.(Unpublished Mayo method)
