Test Code SGTF MYB (6q23) Rearrangement FISH, Tissue

Reporting Name

MYB (6q23), FISH, Ts

Performing Laboratory

Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester

Useful For

Assessing for MYB gene rearrangements in patients with primary salivary gland carcinoma to aid in confirming or excluding the diagnosis of primary salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinomas

Method Name

Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)


Shipping Instructions


Advise Express Mail or equivalent if not on courier service.



Necessary Information


1. A pathology report is required in order for testing to be performed. Acceptable pathology reports include working drafts, preliminary pathology or surgical pathology reports.

2. 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:

 

Specimen Type: Tissue

Preferred: Tissue block

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

 

Acceptable: Slides

Collection Instructions: Four consecutive, unstained, 5 micron-thick sections placed on positively charged slides, and 1 hematoxylin and eosin-stained slide.


Specimen Type

Tissue

Specimen Minimum Volume

Two consecutive unstained 5 micron-thick sections placed on positive-charged slides, and 1 hematoxylin and eosin-stained slide.

Specimen Stability Information

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

Reject Due To

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

Reference Values

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation

A positive result is detected when the percent of cells with an abnormality exceeds the normal cutoff for the probe set.

 

A positive result suggests rearrangement of the MYB locus. The presence of a MYB rearrangement in conjunction with the proper clinical and histologic features is diagnostic of adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC). A confirmed diagnosis of ACC results in specific clinical management that may be distinct from the management of other salivary gland neoplasms.

 

A negative result suggests no rearrangement of the MYB gene region at 6q23.3. The absence of a MYB rearrangement does not exclude the diagnosis of ACC, as a subset of ACCs do not show an MYB rearrangement.

Day(s) Performed

Monday through Friday

Report Available

Testing Algorithm

This test does not include a pathology consultation. If a pathology consult is requested, PATHC / Pathology Consultation should be ordered, and the appropriate fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test will be performed at an additional charge.

 

This test includes a charge for application of the first probe set (2 FISH probes) and professional interpretation of results.

 

Additional charges will be incurred for all reflex probes performed. Analysis charges will be incurred based on the number of cells analyzed per probe set. If no cells are available for analysis, no analysis charges will be incurred.

 

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.
