Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed on bone marrow or peripheral blood cells thought to contain a del( I l)(q23q25) from four patients who had acute leukemia or myelodysplasia. Cells from all patients were shown to contain translocations that involved chromosome 6 in three of the

Deletions and translocations of 13q14 are the most frequent structural chromosome abnormalities found in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). We have identified 13q14 translocations in the blood of 30 of 450 (6.6%) CLL patients by conventional cytogenetics, using tetradecanoyl phorbol 12-myristate 1
## Abstract __TEL__/__ETV6__ is the first transcription factor identified that is specifically required for hematopoiesis within the bone marrow. This gene has been found to have multiple fusion partners; 35 different chromosome bands have been involved in __ETV6__ translocations, of which 13 have
We used fluorescence in situ hybridization to characterize the molecular position of the breakpoints in a t(8;13)(p11;q12) reciprocal translocation from a patient with an atypical myeloproliferative disorder. This structural chromosome abnormality is characteristic of this specific disease and occur
Over 90% of patients with DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) or velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS) have a microdeletion at 22q11.2. Given that these deletions are difficult to visualize at the light microscopic level, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has been instrumental in the diagnosis of this disord
