Test Code ESTUF Endometrial Stromal Tumors (EST), 7p15 (JAZF1), 6p21.32 (PHF1), 17p13.3 (YWHAE) Rearrangement, FISH, Tissue

Reporting Name

Endometrial Stromal Tumor, FISH, Ts

Performing Laboratory

Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester

Useful For

Supporting the diagnosis of endometrial stromal tumors when used in conjunction with an anatomic pathology consultation

Method Name

Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)


Ordering Guidance


This test does not include a pathology consultation. If a pathology consultation is requested, order PATHC / Pathology Consultation, and appropriate testing will be added at the discretion of the pathologist and performed at an additional charge.

 

Multiple oncology (cancer) gene panels are also available. For more information see Hematology, Oncology, and Hereditary Test Selection Guide

 

This test is not intended for male patients.



Additional Testing Requirements


Confirmation testing by next-generation sequencing to resolve atypical or unbalanced fluorescence in situ hybridization results of these gene regions is available, order SARCP / Sarcoma Targeted Gene Fusion/Rearrangement Panel, Next-Generation Sequencing, Tumor.



Shipping Instructions


Advise Express Mail or equivalent if not on courier service.



Necessary Information


1. A pathology report is required for testing to be performed. If not provided, appropriate testing and/or interpretation may be compromised or delayed. Acceptable pathology reports include working drafts, preliminary pathology, or surgical pathology reports.

2. The following information must be included in the report provided.

-Patient name

-Block number - must be on all blocks, slides, and paperwork

-Date of collection

-Tissue source

3. A reason for testing must be provided. If this information is not provided, an appropriate indication for testing may be entered by Mayo Clinic Laboratories.



Specimen Required


Submit only 1 of the following specimens:

 

Preferred

Specimen Type: Tissue block

Collection Instructions: Submit a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue block. Blocks prepared with alternative fixation methods may be acceptable; provide fixation method used.

 

Acceptable

Specimen Type: Tissue slides

Slides: 1 Hematoxylin and eosin stained and 6 unstained

Collection Instructions: Submit 1 slide stained with hematoxylin and eosin and 6 consecutive unstained, positively-charged, unbaked slides with 5 micron-thick sections of the tumor tissue.


Specimen Type

Tissue

Specimen Minimum Volume

Slides: 1 Hematoxylin and eosin stained and 3 unstained

Specimen Stability Information

Specimen Type Temperature Time Special Container
Tissue Ambient (preferred)
  Refrigerated 

Reject Due To

All specimens will be evaluated by Mayo Clinic Laboratories for test suitability.

Reference Values

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation

A neoplastic clone is detected when the percent of cells with an abnormality exceeds the normal cutoff for any given probe.

 

A positive result supports a diagnosis of an endometrial stromal tumor of various subtypes.

 

A negative result does not exclude the presence of a neoplastic disorder.

Day(s) Performed

Monday through Friday

Report Available

7 to 10 days

Test Classification

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Mayo Clinic in a manner consistent with CLIA requirements. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.

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). Additional charges will be incurred for all reflex or additional probe sets performed. No analysis charges will be incurred if an insufficient number of representative cells are available for analysis.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, the JAZF1 probe set will be performed initially. In the absence of a JAZF1 rearrangement, reflex testing using the PHF1 probe set will be performed. In the absence of a PHF1 rearrangement, reflex testing using the YWHAE probe set will be performed.

 

If FISH testing for a JAZF1 rearrangement was previously performed, reflex testing using the YWHAE and/or PHF1 probe sets may be ordered separately. A copy of the JAZF1 FISH report is required for testing to be performed. If not provided, appropriate testing and interpretation may be compromised or delayed.

 

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.
