Ordering Guidance
Multiple oncology (cancer) gene panels are also available. For more information see Hematology, Oncology, and Hereditary Test Selection Guide.
Additional Testing Requirements
Confirmation testing by next-generation sequencing to resolve atypical or unbalanced fluorescence in situ hybridization results of this gene region is available, order SARCP / Sarcoma Targeted Gene Fusion/Rearrangement Panel, Next-Generation Sequencing, Tumor.
Shipping Instructions
Advise Express Mail or equivalent if not on courier service.
Necessary Information
1. A pathology report is required for testing to be performed. If not provided, appropriate testing and/or interpretation may be compromised or delayed. Acceptable pathology reports include working drafts, preliminary pathology, or surgical pathology reports.
2. The following information must be included in the report provided:
-Patient name
-Block number - must be on all blocks, slides, and paperwork
-Date of collection
-Tissue source
3. A reason for testing must be provided. If this information is not provided, an appropriate indication for testing may be entered by Mayo Clinic Laboratories.
Specimen Required
Submit only 1 of the following specimens:
Preferred:
Specimen Type: Tissue block
Collection Instructions: Submit a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue block. Blocks prepared with alternative fixation methods will be attempted but are less favorable for successful results by FISH testing; provide fixation method used.
Additional Information:
1. Paraffin-embedded specimens can be from any anatomic location (skin, soft tissue, lymph node, etc).
2. Bone specimens that have been decalcified will be attempted for testing, but the success rate is approximately 50%.
Acceptable:
Specimen Type: Tissue slides
Slides: 1 Hematoxylin and eosin stained and 4 unstained
Collection Instructions: Submit 4 consecutive unstained, positively charged, unbaked slides with 5 micron-thick sections of the tumor tissue and 1 slide stained with hematoxylin and eosin.
Useful For
Identifying NR4A3 gene rearrangements
Supporting the diagnosis of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma or acinic cell carcinoma when used in conjunction with an anatomic pathology consultation

Testing Algorithm
This test does not include a pathology consult. If a pathology consultation is requested, PATHC / Pathology Consultation should be ordered, and the appropriate fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test will be ordered and performed at an additional charge.
This test includes a charge for the probe application, analysis, and professional interpretation of results for one probe set (2 individual FISH probes). Analysis charges will be incurred based on the number of cells analyzed per probe set. If no cells are available for analysis, no analysis charges will be incurred.
Appropriate ancillary probes may be performed at consultant discretion to render comprehensive assessment. Any additional probes will have the results included within the final report and will be performed at an additional charge.
