Olig2 IHC Brain Tumor Testing | Lahalak Platform
Detailed analysis for classifying glial brain tumors and differentiating between various types, supporting modern molecular classification and assisting in making precise, evidence-based clinical treatment decisions for patients.
Scientific name: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for Olig2
Immunohistochemical testing for Olig2 (Oligodendrocyte Transcription Factor 2) aims to detect this essential nuclear transcription factor for the development and survival of oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system. It is a highly sensitive and specific marker for both normal oligodendrocytes and their metastases, such as oligodendroglioma. I...

Medical Service Information
Conditions & Notices
- Fasting is not required, as the sample is a surgical tissue sample from the brain.
- The tissue sample must be immediately preserved in 10% formalin.
- This analysis is routinely requested for all adult gliomas as part of a comprehensive immunological and molecular evaluation.
- It is always requested as part of a molecular diagnostic package for brain tumors, which also includes IDH1 R132H, ATRX, p53, and GFAP. 1p/19q loss testing (FISH or CNA) should be ordered concurrently when an oligodendroma is suspected.
