A loss of chromosome-9 material is one of the most frequent genomic aberrations known in bladder cancer. In order to better understand the role of chromosome-9 losses in bladder cancer, I25 formalin-fixed and 37 unfixed bladder tumors were examined using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). A

In situ hybridization of hamsterlhuman hybrids with biotinylated human genomic D N A has revealed that human chromosomal DNA can integrate into the hamster genome and is not always cytologically detectable. This finding helps t o explain why discordancy can arise in gene mapping by failing to recogn
Fluorescence in situ hybridization was used in interphase cells of 30 ovarian carcinomas to detect numerical changes in copy number of I 3 different centromeres (I, 2.3,4,6.7,8, 10. I I, I 2, 17, 18, and X). Thirty-seven percent of samples ( I I /30) were near diploid and demonstrated only minor cha
Change inchromosome number, numerical aneuploidy, has been consistently linked with cancer development. Since 90% of cancers arise in epithelial tissues, techniques that measure aneuploidy in these tissues would be very useful. Here we describe methods of optimization and suggest use of fluorescent
