Improving detection of chromosomal abnormalities in multiple myeloma using fluorescence in situ hybridization by Naw, Wah Wah

“…D13S319/LAMP1 and IGH@/MAF, interphase FISH probes for del13q14 and t(14;16)(q32;q23) respectively, are used in this study to detect multiple myeloma cells in bone marrow aspirate of 20 patients. While CC could not detect del13q14 and t(14;16)(q32;q23) in any of the 20 patients, interphase FISH detected these chromosomal abnormalities in half (10/20) of the patients. …”
