Ordering Recommendation

Preferred initial test for the diagnosis of oligodendrogliomas. Detect IDH1 or IDH2 mutation and 1p/19q co-deletion, which are both necessary for a firm diagnosis of oligodendrogliomas. Negative IDH1 IHC results will reflect to IDH1 and IDH2 Mutation Detection (3017222) to assess for less common IDH mutations. 

New York DOH Approval Status

This test is New York state approved.

Specimen Required

Patient Preparation
Collect

Tumor tissue.

Specimen Preparation

Formalin fix (10 percent neutral buffered formalin is preferred) and paraffin embed specimen. Protect paraffin block and/or slides from excessive heat. Transport tissue block or 10 unstained (5-micron thick sections), positively charged slides in a tissue transport kit (ARUP supply #47808) available online through eSupply using ARUP Connect™ or contact ARUP Client Services at (800)522-2787. (Min. 6 slides) If sending precut slides, do not oven bake.

Storage/Transport Temperature

Room temperature. Also acceptable: Refrigerated. Ship in cooled container during summer months.

Unacceptable Conditions

Paraffin block with less than 25 percent tumor tissue. Specimens fixed in any fixative other than 10 percent neutral buffered formalin. Decalcified specimens.

Remarks

Include surgical pathology report.
If multiple specimens (blocks or slides) are sent to ARUP, they must be accompanied by one of the following: an order comment indicating that the ARUP pathologist should choose the specimen most appropriate for testing (e.g., "Choose best block"), or individual orders for each sample submitted. A Pathologist Block Selection Fee (ARUP test code 3002076) will be added to orders that utilize the first option. If multiple specimens are sent to ARUP without a request for pathologist block/slide selection or individual orders, they will be held until clarification is provided.

Stability

Ambient: Indefinitely; Refrigerated: Indefinitely; Frozen: Unacceptable
