Useful For

Detecting IDH1 R132 and IDH2 R140 and R172 mutations in acute myeloid leukemia patients at the time of diagnosis to guide targeted therapy

 

Monitoring minimal residual disease during the clinical and therapeutic course

Method Name

Droplet Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction (ddPCR)

Reporting Name

IDH1 and IDH2, Quant, ddPCR, V

Specimen Type

Varies

Specimen Minimum Volume

Whole blood: 4mL
Bone marrow: 2mL
Extracted DNA: 50 mcL at 50 ng/mcL

Specimen Stability Information

Specimen Type Temperature Time Special Container
Varies Refrigerated (preferred) 14 days
  Ambient  7 days

Reject Due To

Gross hemolysis Reject
Moderately to severely clotted Reject

Reference Values

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation

The assay is reported as positive or negative. In positive cases, the mutation and its variant allele fraction (VAF) are reported.

 

VAF%= (mutant copy number)/(mutant copy number + wild-type number)

 

The precision of this quantitative assay is excellent but interassay variability may occur such that result changes should not be considered significant if 2 single measurements differ by less than 0.5 log (3.16-folds).

Day(s) Performed

Monday through Saturday

Report Available

4 to 8 days

Performing Laboratory

Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester
