Limitations of chromosome classification by multicolor karyotyping.
Multicolor karyotyping technologies, such as spectral karyotyping (SKY) (Schröck et al.1996; Liyanage et al. 1996) and multiplex (M-) FISH (Speicher et al. 1996), have proved to be extremely useful in prenatal, postnatal, and cancer cytogenetics. However, these technologies have inherent limitations that, in certain situations, may result in chromosomal misclassification. In this report, we pre...
متن کاملPreviously hidden chromosome aberrations in T(12;15)-positive BALB/c plasmacytomas uncovered by multicolor spectral karyotyping.
The majority of BALB/c mouse plasmacytomas harbor a balanced T(12;15) chromosomal translocation deregulating the expression of the proto-oncogene c-myc. Recent evidence suggests that the T(12;15) is an initiating tumorigenic mutation that occurs in early plasmacytoma precursor cells. However, the possible contribution of additional chromosomal aberrations to the progression of plasmacytoma deve...
متن کاملMulticolor chromosome bar codes.
Chromosome bar codes are multicolor banding patterns produced by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with differentially labeled and pooled sub-regional DNA probes. These molecular cytogenetic tools facilitate chromosome identification and the delineation of both inter- and intra-chromosomal rearrangements. We present an overview of the various conceptual approaches which can be largely d...
متن کاملNormalization of multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (M-FISH) images for improving color karyotyping.
BACKGROUND Multiplex or multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (M-FISH) is a recently developed cytogenetic technique for cancer diagnosis and research on genetic disorders. By simultaneously viewing the multiply labeled specimens in different color channels, M-FISH facilitates the detection of subtle chromosomal aberrations. The success of this technique largely depends on the accuracy ...
متن کاملChromosome-scale mega-haplotypes enable digital karyotyping of cancer aneuploidy
Genomic instability is a frequently occurring feature of cancer that involves large-scale structural alterations. These somatic changes in chromosome structure include duplication of entire chromosome arms and aneuploidy where chromosomes are duplicated beyond normal diploid content. However, the accurate determination of aneuploidy events in cancer genomes is a challenge. Recent advances in se...
