Mismatch Repair by Immunohistochemistry with Reflex to BRAF Codon 600 Mutation and MLH1 Promoter Methylation : 2002327

Mnemonic: MSI REFLEX

Methodology: Qualitative Immunohistochemistry/Qualitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction
Performed: Mon, Thu
Reported: Within 5 days.
If the test reflexes, results will be available within 15 days.
Specimen Required: Collect: Tumor tissue.

Specimen Preparation: Formalin fix (10 percent neutral buffered formalin is preferred) and paraffin embed tissue. If sending precut slides, do not oven bake. Transport tissue block or 20 unstained (3-5 micron thick sections), positively charged slides in a tissue transport kit (ARUP supply #47808). Available online through eSupply using ARUP ConnectTM or contact ARUP Client Services at (800) 522-2787. (Min: 15 slides). Protect paraffin block and/or slides from excessive heat.

Storage/Transport Temperature: Room temperature or refrigerated. Ship in cooled container during summer months.

Remarks: Include surgical pathology report. Submit electronic request. If you do not have electronic ordering capability, use an ARUP requisition form complete with an ARUP client number. For additional technical details, please contact ARUP Client Services at (800) 522-2787..

Unacceptable Conditions: Less than 25 percent tumor. Specimens fixed/processed in alternative fixatives (alcohol, Prefer®). Decalcified specimens.

Stability (collection to initiation of testing): Ambient: Indefinitely; Refrigerated: Indefinitely; Frozen: Unacceptable
Interpretive Data: Refer to report.

Refer to the Colorectal Cancer or Lynch Syndrome topic at arupconsult.com.

Refer to Statement B under Testing Information at http://www.aruplab.com.
Note: If MLH1 is abnormal for Mismatch Repair by IHC, then BRAF codon 600 will added. If BRAF codon 600 is negative, MLH1 Promoter Methylation will be added. Additional charges apply.
CPT Code(s): 88342 x4; if reflexed, add: 83907 Lysis; 88381 Microdissection; 83898 Amplification; 83904 Sequencing; 83912 Interpretation and report; if further reflexed, add 83896 x2 Nucleic Acid Probes; 83898 x2 Amplification; 83912 Interpretation and report - Additional CPT code modifiers may be required for procedures performed to test oncologic or inherited disorders.
