    CLINICAL INFORMATION 
     

    Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) is a nuclear enzyme that adds individual nucleotides to the termini of DNA strands without the use of a DNA template. TdT is expressed normally in cortical thymocytes, immature hematopoietic stem cells, and B and T lymphoblasts. Diagnostically, TdT positivity can be helpful in confirming a diagnosis of lymphoblastic lymphoma or leukemia. Acute myeloid leukemias can also express TdT.

    INTERPRETATION 
     

    This test includes only technical performance of the stain (no pathologist interpretation is performed). If an interpretation is needed, refer to PATHC / Pathology Consultation for a full diagnostic evaluation or second opinion of the case. All material associated with the case is required.

    . 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.
