Term Description

The ratio of HER-2/neu (ERBB2 gene) to CEP17 probes by in situ hybridization assays (e.g. FISH) to determine overexpression of HER-2/neu protein in breast cancer. CEP17 is used as an internal control and to account for aneusomy (varying number) of chromosome 17. A ratio of >2.0 indicates gene amplification and overexpression of HER-2/neu according to the 2013 ASCO-CAP HER2 test guideline recommendations. Results are used to assist in dose selection for certain drugs, assess eligibility for trastuzumab (Herceptin®) treatment, predict response to drug therapies and overall survival in patients with breast cancer. For testing without an internal control probe, see LOINCs 31150-6 and 48675-3. For determining HER-2 status by Immunohistochemistry (IHC), see LOINC 18474-7.

Part Descriptions

LP182376-6   ERBB2 gene copy number
HER2/neu (also known as ErbB-2) stands for "Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2" and is a protein giving higher aggressiveness in breast cancers. It is a member of the ErbB protein family, more commonly known as the epidermal growth factor receptor family. HER2/neu has also been designated as CD340 (cluster of differentiation 340) and p185. It is encoded by the ERBB2 gene. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License. See http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ for details.

LP62864-1   FISH
FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) is a cytogenetic technique used to detect and localize the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences on chromosomes. FISH uses fluorescent probes that bind to only those parts of the chromosome with which they show a high degree of sequence similarity. Fluorescence microscopy can be used to find out where the fluorescent probe bound to the chromosomes. FISH is often used for finding specific features in DNA for use in genetic counseling, medicine, and species identification. FISH can also be used to detect and localize specific mRNAs within tissue samples. In this context, it can help define the spatial-temporal patterns of gene expression within cells and tissues.
