An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation
Genomic variants detected by this test will be documented in a detailed laboratory-issued report. This report will contain information regarding the detected alterations and their associations with prognosis or possible therapeutic implications in histiocytic neoplasms. The information in the clinical report may be used by the patient’s clinician to help guide decisions concerning management. Final interpretation of next-generation sequencing results requires correlation with all relevant clinical, pathologic, and laboratory findings and is the responsibility of the managing clinician.
Method Description
This is a target-enriched next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel. DNA is extracted from validated specimen sources including, but not limited to, peripheral blood, bone marrow aspirate, and formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues. 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 Genomic alterations are called according to human genome reference build GRCh37 (hg19).(Unpublished Mayo method)
