Highly Sensitive Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization Method to Detect Double BCR/ABL Fusion and Monitor Response to Therapy in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
1 May 1998
Abstract excerpt
We investigated a new method using fluorescence in situ hybridization and DNA probes that span the common breakpoints of t(9;22)(q34;q11.2) and that detect double BCR/ABL fusion (D-FISH) in bone marrow cells with this translocation, one on the abnormal chromosome 9 and one on the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph chromosome). D-FISH patterns were abnormal in 30 of 30 specimens with classic, simple, complex, and masked...
