FISH, Locus-specific Probe (x2)
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
This test performs interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis using two probes targeting a user-identified locus, analyzing approximately 100–300 cells. It is used in conjunction with G-banding chromosome analysis to evaluate specific chromosomal abnormalities at the targeted locus. In the absence of chromosome analysis, tissue culture charges may be incurred, and orders may be changed to a Cytogenetics Communication if results are unattainable.
