HelpTest ID CILPF Congenital Infantile Leukemia, FISH, Tissue
Ordering Guidance
This test is only performed on specimens from patients with acute leukemia who are 18 months of age or younger.
For testing bone marrow or blood specimens from patients with congenital infantile leukemia, order CILDF / Congenital Infantile Leukemia, Diagnostic FISH, Varies.
If this test is ordered on a patient older than 18 months of age and the reason for testing is B-cell or T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL or T-ALL), this test will be canceled and automatically reordered by the laboratory as BLBLF / B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma, FISH, Tissue or TLBLF / T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma, FISH, Tissue.
If this test is ordered on a patient older than 18 months of age and the reason for testing is acute myeloid leukemia (AML), this test will be canceled and automatically reordered by the laboratory as MSTF / Myeloid Sarcoma, FISH, Tissue.
This test does not include a pathology consult. If a pathology consultation is requested, PATHC / Pathology Consultation should be ordered and the appropriate FISH test will be ordered and performed at an additional charge.
Shipping Instructions
Advise Express Mail or equivalent if not on courier service.
Necessary Information
A reason for testing and pathology report are required for testing to be performed. Send information with specimen. Acceptable pathology reports include working drafts, preliminary pathology or surgical pathology reports. The laboratory will not reject testing if this information is not provided, but appropriate testing and interpretation may be compromised or delayed. If this information is not provided, an appropriate indication for testing may be entered by Mayo Clinic Laboratories.
Specimen Required
Submit only 1 of the following specimens:
Specimen Type: Tissue
Preferred: Tissue block
Collection Instructions: Submit a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue block. Blocks prepared with alternative fixation methods may be acceptable; provide fixation method used.
Additional Information:
1. The paraffin embedded specimen can be from any anatomic location (skin, soft tissue, lymph node, etc.).
2. Bone specimens that have been decalcified will be attempted for FISH, with a success rate of approximately 50%.
Acceptable: Slides
Collection Instructions: 20 Consecutive, unstained, 5 micron-thick sections placed on positively charged slides, and 1 hematoxylin and eosin-stained slide.

Testing Algorithm
This test includes a charge for application of the first probe set (2 fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH] probes) and professional interpretation of results. Additional charges will be incurred for all reflex probes performed. Analysis charges will be incurred based on the number of cells analyzed per probe set. If no cells are available for analysis, no analysis charges will be incurred.
This FISH test allows different combinations of probes to be utilized based on the patient’s age and clinical question, per client request.
All probes marked with an asterisk* will be performed as reflex testing, without notification, if the corresponding region was disrupted or potentially disrupted. Patients found to have a MYC rearrangement will be reflexed to the break-apart BCL6 and BCL2 probe sets. Patients found to have 3 copies of KAT6A will be reflexed with D8Z2/MYC.
The FISH panel for patients younger than 3 months includes testing for the following abnormalities using the FISH probes listed:
11q23 rearrangement, MLL (KMT2A)
*t(4;11)(q21;q23) AFF1/MLL
*t(9;11)(p22;q23) MLLT3/MLL

t(1;22), [M7], RBM15/MKL1
+13/+21, 13q14 and 21q22
If no classic abnormalities are observed, other FISH probes may be offered by the laboratory.
The FISH panel is dependent on the reason for testing and the patient’s diagnosis (acute myeloid leukemia [AML], B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia [ALL], or T-cell ALL).
The initial FISH panel for patients 3 months to 18 months of age with AML includes testing for the following abnormalities:
11q23 rearrangement, MLL (KMT2A)
*t(4;11)(q21;q23) AFF1/MLL
*t(9;11)(p22;q23) MLLT3/MLL
