Special Instructions

Indicate pertinent clinical diagnosis and previous cytogenetic studies on the test request form. Note: This test number is used for tracking FISH specimens to the testing laboratory. Bill codes will be added when testing is complete based on the processes performed in the laboratory. Call Customer Service (800-345-4363) for a list of applicable test codes.

Test Includes

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for myeloproliferative neoplasms with hypereosinophilia (MPN/HES) targeting rearrangement of FGFR1, PDGFRa, and PDGFRb.

Limitations

Molecular mutations below the resolution of FISH will not be detected. This test will not detect regions not targeted by FISH probes in this panel.

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by LabCorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Methodology

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)

Specimen Requirements

Information on collection, storage, and volume

Specimen

Blood, bone marrow, CSF, fixed-cell pellet from a cytogenetic analysis, slides with metaphase and/or interphase nuclei or bone marrow touch prep slides are acceptable for testing.

Volume

10 mL blood (adult), 5 mL blood (pediatric), 3 mL bone marrow, fixed-cell pellet from a cytogenetic analysis, 6 slides with metaphase and/or interphase nuclei or 6 touch prep slides

Minimum Volume

5 mL blood (adult), 1 mL blood (pediatric), 1 mL bone marrow, fixed-cell pellet from a cytogenetic analysis, 6 slides with metaphase and/or interphase nuclei, or 6 bone marrow touch prep slides (Note: This volume does not allow for repeat testing.)

Container

Green top (sodium heparin) tube: pediatric Vacutainer is optimal or lavender-top (EDTA) tube (suboptimal). Adjust tube size to sample volume to avoid heparin toxicity.

Storage Instructions

Maintain the specimen at either room temperature or refrigerate. Do not freeze.

Causes for Rejection

Broken Vacutainer, broken or stained slides; paraffin blocks; paraffin slides; decalcified bone cores; frozen specimen; quantity not sufficient for analysis

Collection

Transport to the testing lab at room temp is acceptable. Do not allow the sample to overheat or freeze. Use a cool pack or LabCorp transport kit if necessary. Specimens should optimally arrive in the laboratory within 48 hours of collection. Indicate date of collection on the test request form.
