โฆ Synopsis
Four patients with acute leukemia are presented in whom conventional karyotypic analysis had revealed complex numerical and structural changes including unidentifiable (marker) chromosomes. It is demonstrated that the application of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) may contribute to the identification of such anomalies.

Initial approaches to prenatal diagnosis from fetal karyotyping involved application of standard cytogenetic techniques. However, when fetal samples, such as chorionic villus cells or amniocytes are used, small chromosome rearrangements cannot be easily identified because they lack a distinct bandin

Primed in situ labeling (PRINS) is a relatively new technology with wide-ranging applications in clinical cytogenetics. Using PRINS, we have identified the chromosomal origin of marker chromosomes in three patients. In the first patient with primary amenorrhea, we were able to confirm the marker chr
