Fixed-cell pellet from a cytogenetic analysis, slides with metaphases and/or interphase nuclei, or bone marrow touch prep slides. Blood, bone marrow, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), FNA, paraffin block are also acceptable with additional charge.

Volume

Fixed-cell pellet, three slides, 10 mL blood (adult), 5 mL blood (pediatric), or 3 mL bone marrow

Minimum Volume

Fixed-cell pellet from a cytogenetic analysis, two slides, 5 mL blood (adult), 1 mL blood (pediatric), or 1 mL bone marrow

Container

Green-top (sodium heparin) tube; pediatric Vacutainer® is optimal or lavender-top (EDTA) tube

Collection

Transport to the testing lab at room temperature; use a cool pack or LabCorp transport kit. Do not allow sample to freeze.

Test Details

Use

This test is used for confirmation/identification of cancer-related alterations (associated with myxoid liposarcomas/round liposarcomas).

Methodology

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)

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.
