Abstract:
We studied seven patients with various malignant hematologic disorders using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and one of these patients with spectral karyotyping (SKY). With appropriate probes, the t(8;21) and inv(16) were confirmed in two patients and the karyotypic precision was increased in five others using FISH and SKY. Two of three patients with 12p rearrangements had a deletion of one TEL allele. Thus, these newer techniques are an important adjunct to accurate chromosome analysis in malignancy.
