Ordering Guidance

This gene panel is a subset of the NGSHM / Myeloid Neoplasms, Comprehensive OncoHeme Next-Generation Sequencing test and focuses more specifically on the gene mutations that are most prevalent and clinically significant in acute myeloid leukemias (AML). If a wider gene mutation analysis is desired or the indication for testing is for a myeloid malignancy other than AML, consider NGSHM.

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

Next-generation sequencing is a comprehensive molecular diagnostic methodology that can interrogate multiple regions of genomic tumor DNA in a single assay. Many hematologic neoplasms, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), are characterized by morphologic or phenotypic similarities but can have characteristic somatic mutations in several genes that enable more specific categorization. In addition, many cases of AML lack a clonal cytogenetic finding at diagnosis (normal karyotype) and can be better classified according to gene mutation profile. The presence and pattern of gene mutations in AML can provide critical prognostic information and may help in guiding therapeutic management decisions by physicians, particularly if targeted therapies are available.

Reference Values

Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

This test is a targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay that encompasses 11 genes with variable full exon, partial region (including select intronic or noncoding regions), or hot spot coverage (depending on specific locus). Therefore, this test will not detect other genetic abnormalities in genes or regions outside the specified target areas. The test detects single base substitutions (ie, point mutations), as well as small insertion or deletion type events, but it does not detect gene rearrangements (ie, translocations), gene fusions, copy number alterations, or large scale (segmental chromosome region) deletions and complex changes.

 

This assay does not distinguish between somatic and germline alterations in analyzed gene regions, particularly with variant allele frequencies near 50% or 100%. If nucleotide alterations in genes associated with germline variant syndromes are present and there is a strong clinical suspicion or family history of malignant disease predisposition, additional genetic testing and appropriate counseling may be indicated. A low incidence of gene mutations associated with myeloid neoplasms can be detected in nonmalignant hematopoietic cells in individuals with advancing age (clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential), and these may not be clearly distinguishable from tumor-associated mutations. Some apparent mutations classified as variants of uncertain significance may represent rare or low-frequency polymorphisms.

 

Prior treatment for hematologic malignancy could affect the results obtained in this assay. In particular, a prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant may cause difficulties in resolving somatic or polymorphic alterations or assigning variant calls correctly to donor and recipient fractions, if pertinent clinical or laboratory information (eg, chimerism engraftment status) is not provided.

 

The finding of a genetic alteration does not necessarily indicate the presence of a myeloid neoplasm. Correlation with clinical, histopathologic, and additional laboratory findings is required for final interpretation of NGS results and is the responsibility of the managing physician.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is performed to test for the presence of a mutation in targeted regions in 11 genes. For more information see Targeted Genes Interrogated by Acute Myeloid Leukemia, 11-Gene Panel. This is a laboratory-developed target enriched NGS panel. DNA is extracted from validated specimen sources including peripheral blood and bone marrow. Library preparation for NGS is performed followed by probe hybridization and capture. Sequencing of the final sample library is performed on a NGS instrument. Following bioinformatic processing of the sequencing data, the sequencing results are interpreted to provide a final clinical report. Genomic alterations are called according to human genome reference build GRCh37 (hg19).(Unpublished Mayo method)
