Test Details
Methodology
SNP microarray analysis is performed using the Cytoscan® HD Accel platform, which uses more than 743,130 SNP probes and 2,029,441 NPCN probes with a median spacing of 0.818 kb.
Result Turnaround Time
10 - 14 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 will detect chromosomal imbalance that may be present in neoplastic disorders and clonal evolution. It provides detection of copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity of any chromosome, and the percent and location of homozygosity, that may be associated with cancer gene mutations.
Special Instructions
Pertinent medical findings should accompany the test request form.
Limitations
This SNP assay does not detect balanced rearrangements, low-level mosaicism (<10%), marker chromosomes that only that only contain heterochromatin or tetraploidy.
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Labcorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Specimen Requirements
Specimen
Whole blood, bone marrow or nonfixed tumor tissue
Volume
5 mL whole blood, 2 mL bone marrow or >2 to 4 mm3 tissue
Minimum Volume
2 mL whole blood or 1 mL bone marrow for array only (Note: This volume does not allow for repeat testing.)
Container
Whole blood or bone marrow: green-top (heparin) tube (preferred); or yellow-top (ACD) tube or lavender-top (EDTA) tube; nonfixed tumor tissue: sterile container containing sterile saline, Ringer's lactate or Hank's balanced salt solution or transport medium provided by the cytogenetic laboratory
Collection Instructions
Blood or bone marrow: using sterile technique, collect 5 mL of blood or 2 mL of bone marrow into a heparin, ACD or EDTA tube or syringe. Invert the tube several times to prevent coagulation. Specimens should be sent the same day as collected.
Nonfixed tumor tissue: Submit at room temperature using Lymph Node Transport Kit (supplied by Labcorp). Gel separator tubes, microtainer tubes and fixed cell pellets cannot be processed.
Storage Instructions
Maintain specimen at room temperature.
Causes for Rejection
Upon receipt, suitability of specimen will be determined by the Cytogenetics laboratory.
