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
Container/Tube: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue block

All specimens will be evaluated at Mayo Clinic Laboratories for test suitability.Reference Values
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation
A positive result with the TFEB probe is detected when the percent of cells with an abnormality exceeds the normal cutoff for the probe set. A positive result of TFEB suggests promotor substitution caused by structural alterations of the TFEB gene region at 6p21.1. A negative result suggests no structural alterations of the locus.

Testing Algorithm
This test does not include a pathology consult. If a pathology consultation 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.
