Test ID AMLMF Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Specified FISH, Varies


Ordering Guidance


This test is intended for instances when limited acute myeloid leukemia (AML) fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes are needed based on specific abnormalities or on abnormalities identified in the diagnostic sample. 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 order, the test may be canceled and automatically reordered by the laboratory as either AMLAF / Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), FISH, Adult, Varies or AMLPF / Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), FISH, Pediatric, Varies depending on the age of the patient.

 

If the entire AML FISH panel is preferred for an adult patient, order AMLAF / Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), FISH, Adult, Varies.

If the entire AML FISH panel is preferred for a pediatric patient, order AMLPF / Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), FISH, Pediatric, Varies.

 

At diagnosis, conventional cytogenetic studies (CHRBM / Chromosome Analysis, Hematologic Disorders, Bone Marrow) and a complete AML FISH panel (either AMLAF or AMLPF) should be performed.

 

If this test is ordered and the laboratory is informed that the patient is on a Children's Oncology Group (COG) protocol, this test will be canceled and automatically reordered by the laboratory as COGMF / Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Children's Oncology Group Enrollment Testing, FISH, Varies.

 

For testing paraffin embedded tissue samples from patients with myeloid sarcoma, order MSTF / Myeloid Sarcoma, FISH, Tissue.



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 and a flow cytometry and/or a bone marrow pathology report, if available, should be submitted with each specimen.The laboratory will not reject testing if this information is not provided, however appropriate testing and/or interpretation may be compromised or delayed in some instances. If this information is not provided, an appropriate indication for testing may be entered by Mayo Clinic Laboratories.

Useful For

Detecting a neoplastic clone associated with the recurrent chromosome abnormalities seen in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or other myeloid malignancies using a client specified probe set

 

An adjunct to conventional chromosome studies in patients with AML

 

Evaluating specimens in which standard cytogenetic analysis is unsuccessful

Testing Algorithm

This test includes a charge for the probe application, analysis and professional interpretation of results for 1 probe set (2 individual fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH] probes). Additional charges will be incurred for all reflex or additional probe sets performed.

 

If the patient has known chromosome abnormalities identified in the diagnostic study, indicate the abnormality and which probes should be used.

t(8;21), [M2], RUNX1T1/RUNX1

Reflex: t(3;21)(q26.2;q22) MECOM/RUNX1
