Test Code Mayo: EOSMF |Beaker: LAB10836 Chronic Eosinophilia, Specified FISH, Varies

Important Note

Only available in the Lafayette region

Additional Codes

Epic EAP: LAB10836

Epic Description: CHRONIC EOSINOPHILIA, SPEC FISH (MAYO)


Ordering Guidance


This test is intended for instances when limited chronic eosinophilia fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes are needed. The FISH probes to be analyzed must be specified on the request, otherwise test processing may be delayed in order to determine the intended analysis. If specific probes are not included with this test request, this test may be canceled and automatically reordered by the laboratory as EOSDF / Chronic Eosinophilia, Diagnostic FISH, Varies.

 

If the entire chronic eosinophilia FISH panel is preferred, order EOSDF / Chronic Eosinophilia, Diagnostic, FISH, Varies.

 

Paraffin embedded tissue testing is not available for these probe sets.

 

This test is ordered for targeted FISH probes to be evaluated based on specific abnormalities or on abnormalities identified in the diagnostic sample.

 

At diagnosis, a EOSDF / Chronic Eosinophilia, Diagnostic, FISH, Varies panel and a conventional chromosome study should be performed.



Shipping Instructions


Advise Express Mail or equivalent if not on courier service.



Necessary Information


1. A list of probes requested for analysis is required. Probes available for this test are listed in the Testing Algorithm section.

2. A reason for testing should be with each specimen. The laboratory will not reject testing if this information is not provided; however, appropriate testing and interpretation may be compromised or delayed. If not provided, an appropriate indication for testing may be entered by Mayo Clinic Laboratories.

3. A pathology and/or flow cytometry report may be requested by the laboratory to optimize testing and aid in interpretation of results.

Useful For

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, and ABL1) using specified probes set

 

Supporting a diagnosis of malignancy when a clone is present

 

An adjunct to conventional chromosome studies

Testing Algorithm

This test includes a charge for the probe application, analysis, and professional interpretation of results for one probe set (2 individual fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH] probes or 3 individual FISH probes). Additional charges will be incurred for all reflex or additional probe sets performed.

 

If the patient is being treated for known abnormalities, indicate the abnormality and which probes should be used.

 

When specified, any of the following probes will be performed:

4q12 deletion or rearrangement, FIP1L1, CHIC2, PDGFRA

4q12 rearrangement, PDGFRA

5q32 rearrangement, PDGFRB

t(5;12), PDGFRB/ETV6

8p11.2 rearrangement, FGFR1

9p24.1 rearrangement, JAK2

9q34 rearrangement, ABL1

t(9;22), BCR/ABL1

 

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.
