SPECIMEN COLLECTION
Specimen type:
Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE) OR Fresh tissue (including bone marrow aspirate)
Preferred collection container:
Glass Slides
Specimen required:
PREFERRED:
FFPE tissue:  Six (6) unstained slides (USS), 10 µm thickness each, in slide folder (protected from light)
Bone marrow: 3 mL lavender-top K2 EDTA tube (part of Bone Marrow Panel Collection – Bone Marrow Aspirate – Two [2] K2 EDTA Tube[s])
Fresh tissue:  Place in liquid medium (e.g., RPMI)
Special notes:
FFPE tissue: For non-Geisinger sites, send six (6) USS/10 µm thickness, H&E slide, source of specimen and tumor assessment.  Alternatively, send the FFPE block and additional information. 
Bone marrow: For non-Geisinger sites, collection tube is included in the bone marrow (BM) collection kit.

NOTE: Isolated/extracted nucleic acids are acceptable only from CLIA-certified laboratories or a laboratory meeting equivalent requirements as determined by CAP and/or CMS.


SPECIMEN PROCESSING
Specimen processing instructions:
Mix well immediately. Do not centrifuge or separate plasma from cells. 
Transport temperature:
FFPE tissue:  Room temperature (18-25°C)
Bone marrow/fresh tissue:: Refrigerated (2-8°C) 
Specimen stability:
FFPE Tissue: Room temperature (18-25°C), indefinitely
Bone marrow/fresh tissue: Refrigerated (2-8°C), 3 days.  Specimen must be extracted within 3 days.
Rejection criteria:
FFPE blocks containing no tumor (evaluated by pathologist). FFPE tissues that have been decalcified. Insufficient DNA and/or RNA. Wrong collection tube. Improper storage or transport temperature. Stability limits exceeded. Shared or comingled specimens.

Test includes:
This custom testing gene panel uses targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect genomic alterations including: tumor mutation burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), single base-pair mutations and small insertions/deletions in the coding regions or adjacent intron/exon boundaries, copy number variants (CNV), gene rearrangements (RNA fusion) and exon skipping.

The following mutations will be reported on the dermatologic neoplasm gene panel:
