HelpTest Code IDH2 IHD2, R172K Mutation, Immunostain, Technical Component Only
Ordering Guidance
This test includes only technical performance of the stain (no pathologist interpretation is performed). If diagnostic consultation by a pathologist is required, order PATHC / Pathology Consultation.

Testing Algorithm
For the initial technical component only immunohistochemical (IHC) stain performed, the appropriate bill-only test ID will be reflexed and charged (IHTOI). For each additional technical component only IHC stain performed, an additional bill-only test ID will be reflexed and charged (IHTOA).

Clinical Information
The IDH2 R172K mutation is present in a subset of cases of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). Detection of the mutant protein using a mutation-specific antibody is useful in the diagnosis of AITL. This mutation may also be found in cases of acute myeloid leukemia.
Interpretation
This test does not include pathologist interpretation, only technical performance of the stain. If interpretation is required, order PATHC / Pathology Consultation for a full diagnostic evaluation or second opinion of the case.
The positive and negative controls are verified as showing appropriate immunoreactivity. If a control tissue is not included on the slide, a scanned image of the relevant quality control tissue is available upon request; call 855-516-8404.
Interpretation of this test should be performed in the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.
