Clinical Information
Test purpose: Help
Diagnosis; Prognostic
Target population: Help
Chromosomal SNP microarray analysis is increasingly relevant in establishing a diagnosis and prognosis for people with hematologic cancers (e.g. leukemia, ALL, AML, MDS) and solid tumors (e.g. sarcomas, renal cell carcinomas, brain tumors), because it detects abnormalities missed by the more traditional methods of karyotyping and FISH.
Variant Interpretation:
What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS? Help
CNVs interpreted using DGV, Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Hematology and Oncology, Cosmic Catalog of Somatic Mutations in Cancer. Determination of clinical significance and reports are based on ACMG Guidelines.

Are family members with defined clinical status recruited to assess significance of VUS without charge? Help
No.

Will the lab re-contact the ordering physician if variant interpretation changes? Help
No. The ordering provider is welcome to contact lab to request an updated interpretation of any CNVs detected previously.

Tests performed
Entire test performed in-house
Analytical Validity: Help
As per ACMG guidelines, 30 known normal and abnormal samples were used to validate the assay. The microarray detected 100% of the abnormalities.
Assay limitations: Help
This microarray will detect aneuploidy as well as copy number gains (duplications or amplifications), copy number losses (deletions), and regions of copy number neutral loss of heterozygosity (cnLOH) for the loci represented on the microarray. Analysis in our laboratory is limited to detecting copy number changes (deletions and duplications) that … View more
Proficiency testing (PT):
Is proficiency testing performed for this test? Help
Yes

Method used for proficiency testing: Help
Formal PT program

PT Provider: Help
American College of Medical Genetics / College of American Pathologists, ACMG/CAP

Description of PT method: Help
As part of CAP accreditation, proficiency testing is performed two times per year. The laboratory is provided with approximately 4 unknown specimens for testing each year, and results are returned to CAP for evaluation.
