Whole blood, bone marrow, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue block or slides


Volume

3 to 5 mL whole blood, 1 to 2 mL bone marrow, four pre-cut unstained slides at 5 micron with one matching H&E reference slide, or formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE) block


Minimum Volume

3 mL whole blood, 1 mL bone marrow, two unstained slides at 5µm and one matching H&E slide, or three unstained slides at 5µm. Tumor surface area >=4mm2 tumor area and >/= 50% tumor content are preferred


Container

Lavender-top (EDTA) tube, green-top (heparin) tube, yellow-top (ACD) tube, tan-top (K2-EDTA) tube, or pink-top (K2-EDTA) tube FFPE tissue block and slide container


Storage Instructions

Refrigerate. Maintain FFPE blocks/slides at room temperature.


Causes for Rejection

Specimen does not meet all of the above criteria for sample type, container, minimum volume, collection and storage; unsuitable specimens include but are not limited to: frozen whole blood or marrow; a leaking tube; clotted blood or marrow; a grossly hemolyzed specimen or otherwise visibly degraded; specimen suspected of being contaminated by another specimen; specimen contains suspicious foreign material; no tumor tissue in FFPE block or slides; broken or stained slides


Test Details


Use

Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2) are the most frequently mutated metabolic genes in human cancer. They encode cytosolic and mitochondrial enzymes that catalyze the conversion of isocitrate to a-ketoglutarate (aKG), a key component in metabolic and cellular pathways including the Krebs cycle. IDH1 and IDH2 mutations are found in multiple types of human cancer, including but not limited to, acute myeloid leukemia and gliomas. Identification of IDH mutations can aid in their diagnosis, provide prognostic information and suggest treatment with IDH inhibitors. This assay will detect mutations affecting amino acids 100 and 132 of IDH1 and amino acids 140 and 172 of IDH2.

Limitations

In vitro studies indicate that this assay has a sensitivity to detect approximately 5% mutated IDH1/2 in a background of non-mutant DNA. Mutations present at a level below the detection sensitivity or outside the analyzed region of the IDH1 and IDH2 genes will not be detected by this assay.

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Labcorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration.


Methodology

SNaPshot Multiplex PCR (primer extension-based method)
