94590-7
LaboratoryOncologic chromosome analysis in Tissue by Mate pair sequencing
Definition
This term is used for the order & overall chromosome analysis report for identifying oncology-related abnormalities in various tissue specimens, including lymph nodes, skin biopsy, frozen tissue, and cultured tumor cells, by sequencing methods, including mate pair sequencing. Results may include the overall findings, the result in ISCN format, testing methods, interpretation, recommendations, and references. This may be performed as second-tier testing in oncologic specimens when previous cytogenetic testing has detected an acquired chromosome abnormality of unknown significance.
