Dual-color, Break-apart FISH Assay on Paraffin-embedded Tissues as an Adjunct to Diagnosis of Xp11 Translocation Renal Cell Carcinoma and Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma
27 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
Both Xp11.2 translocation renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) are characterized by various translocations disrupting chromosome Xp11.2, which result in gene fusions involving the TFE3 transcription factor gene. Diagnostic tools to detect translocations involving the TFE3 gene on chromosome X would be valuable in the evaluation of these tumors. We developed a dual-color, break-apart...
