Testing Algorithm

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 are characterized by morphologic or phenotypic similarities but can have characteristic somatic mutations in many genes that enable more specific categorization. In addition, many myeloid neoplasms lack a clonal cytogenetic finding at diagnosis (normal karyotype) but can be diagnosed or confirmed and classified according to the gene mutation profile. Patients with unexplained cytopenias may harbor acquired genetic alterations in hematopoietic cells (clonal cytopenias of uncertain significance), which may carry risk of developing overt myeloid malignancies. The presence and pattern of gene mutations in known or suspected myeloid neoplasm can provide critical diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic information to help guide management for the patient's physician. Patients presenting with severe inflammatory features, often with cytopenias, may have VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome and can be identified by the presence of somatic UBA1 gene mutation.

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

Detailed variant assessment and interpretive comments will be provided for all reportable genetic alterations.

 

If this test is ordered in the setting of erythrocytosis and suspicion of polycythemia vera, interpretation requires correlation with a concurrent or recent prior bone marrow evaluation.

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 47 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 in assigning variant calls correctly to donor and recipient fractions, if pertinent clinical or laboratory information (eg, chimerism engraftment status) is not provided.

 

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 is performed for the presence of a mutation in targeted regions of 47 genes. For details regarding the targeted gene regions identified in this test see Targeted Genes Interrogated by Myeloid Neoplasms, Comprehensive OncoHeme Next-Generation Sequencing. Extracted DNA from the clinical specimen is fragmented, adapter ligated, and a sequence library of fragments is prepared using a custom capture hybridization method. Individual patient samples are indexed ("bar-coded") for identification, and the library is sequenced on an Illumina platform. Sequence data are processed through a bioinformatics pipeline, and a variant call file is generated for final analysis and reporting.(Unpublished Mayo method)
