Clinical Information

Test purpose:

Therapeutic management

Target population:

Patients who have been diagnosed to have hematologic malignancy

Variant Interpretation:

What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS?
VUS and novel variants will be interpreted by trained variant analysis team member and a lab director using the current ACMG variant classification criteria.

Are family members with defined clinical status recruited to assess significance of VUS without charge?
No.

Will the lab re-contact the ordering physician if variant interpretation changes?
Yes. No systemic re-evaluation of previously reported variants/findings are currently performed. However, if the same variant/finding is identified in another patient and current assessment results in change in variant classification/interpretation, then the laboratory will recontact the ordering provider and issue an updated report.

Recommended fields not provided:

Clinical validity, Clinical utility, Is research allowed on the sample after clinical testing is complete?, Sample negative report, Sample positive report

Technical Information

Test Comments:

CPT code updated 2023 to 81456

Availability:

Tests performed
Entire test performed in-house

Analytical Validity:

This assay detects gene fusions involving listed genes as a fusion gene partner. >99% of gene fusions involving these gene partners are detected by this assay if sample contains minimum blast/tumor % content requirement for this test (10% for fresh/frozen sample; 25% for FFPE sample).

Proficiency testing (PT):

Is proficiency testing performed for this test?
Yes

Method used for proficiency testing:
Formal PT program

PT Provider:
College of American Pathologists, CAP

VUS:

Laboratory's policy on reporting novel variations
Unusual or clinically significant novel variants will be communicated to the ordering provider via telephone call or email communication.

Recommended fields not provided:

Test Confirmation, Assay limitations, Description of internal test validation method, Citations for Analytical validity, Description of PT method, Major CAP category, CAP category, CAP test list
