Clinical Information
MUM-1 (multiple myeloma oncogene-1), expressed by the IRF4 gene, is seen in a subset of B cells in the light zone of the germinal center (representing late stages of B cell differentiation), plasma cells, activated T cells, and a variety of hematolymphoid neoplasms derived from these cells. Among non-hematolymphoid neoplasms, MUM-1 expression has been reported in melanomas. A separate protocol optimized for B5 fixed/decalcified bone marrow specimens has been validated.
Interpretation
This test does not include pathologist interpretation; only technical performance of the stain is performed. If an 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 and documentation is retained at Mayo Clinic Rochester. If a control tissue is not included on the slide, a scanned image of the relevant quality control tissue is available upon request. Contact 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.
