FISH FOR DELETION MYB OR DELETION 6Q

Description

FISH, or fluorescence in situ hybridization, can be used to detect deletions of the MYB gene region (located at 6q23) or deletions of the long arm of chromosome 6 (6q) in various cancers and lymphoproliferative disorders. FISH is particularly useful for identifying these deletions because it can detect changes not visible under a microscope and can be used on both dividing and non-dividing cells.
