Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
T-cell malignancies account for approximately 12% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. There are several subtypes of T-cell neoplasms: T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL), T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), and various other cutaneous, nodal, and extrandodal lymphoma subtypes. The 2 most prevalent lymphoma subtypes are unspecified peripheral T-cell lymphoma (3.7%) and ALCL (2.4%).
A few common chromosome abnormalities are associated with specific T-cell lymphoma subtypes, including:
| Common Chromosome Abnormalities in T-cell Lymphomas | ||
| Lymphoma Type | Chromosome Abnormality | FISH Probe |
| Anaplastic Large cell lymphoma (ALCL) | 2p23 rearrangement | 3’/5’ ALK |
| 3q28 rearrangement | 5’/3’ TP63 | |
| 6p25.3 rearrangement | 5’/3’ IRF4 (DUSP22) | |
| T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (TPLL) | inv(14)(q11q32)/ t(14;14)(q11;q32) | 5’/3’ TCL1A 5’/3’ TRAD |
| Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTL) | Isochromosome 7q | D7S486/D7Z1 |

A neoplastic clone is detected when the percent of cells with an abnormality exceeds the normal reference range for any given probe.
Detection of an abnormal clone is supportive of a diagnosis of a T-cell lymphoma. The specific abnormality detected may help subtype the neoplasm.
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.
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 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens from patients diagnosed with a T-cell lymphoma and 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. Rearrangements involving ALK, IRF4 (DUSP22), TCL1A, TRAD, and TP63 are detected using a dual-color break-apart (BAP) strategy probe. Trisomy of chromosome 8 and isochromosome 7q are detected using enumeration strategy probes. TP63/TBL1XR1 is detected using a dual color, dual fusion probe set. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues are cut at 5 microns and mounted on positively charged glass slides. The selection of tissue and the 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. The probe set is hybridized to the appropriate target areas and 2 technologists each analyze 100 interphase nuclei (200 total) with the results expressed as the percent abnormal nuclei.(Unpublished Mayo method)
