Test Details
Methodology
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)
Result Turnaround Time
3 - 5 days
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Use
This test is used for confirmation/identification of cancer-related alterations (associated with myxoid liposarcomas/round liposarcomas).
Special Instructions
There will be an additional charge for processing paraffin block samples or for samples that require culture.
Limitations
Molecular mutations or chromosomal alterations not targeted by the probe included in this profile will not be detected.
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Labcorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Custom Additional Information
The CHOP break-apart FISH probe is designed to rule out a rearrangement of the gene located at 12q13 associated with a reciprocal (12;16)(q13;p11) translocation (CHOP-TLS gene fusion) and myxoid/round cell liposarcoma. CHOP is fused to TLS in about 90% of myxoid liposarcomas/round cell liposarcomas.
Specimen Requirements
Specimen
Fixed-cell pellet from a cytogenetic analysis, slides with metaphases and/or interphase nuclei or bone marrow touch prep slides; whole blood, bone marrow, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), FNA, paraffin block are also acceptable with additional charge

Container
Green-top (sodium heparin) tube; pediatric Vacutainer® is optimal or lavender-top (EDTA) tube (suboptimal). For samples with shared karyotype (510999) and any FISH study in the same tube, EDTA is not recommended due to the growth inhibition in cell culture. Adjust tube size to sample volume to avoid heparin toxicity.
