D detection of chromosomal abnormalities in human tumors have occurred with the development of new techniques. These have included new techniques to identify chromosomes such as chromosomal banding techniques, improved methods to culture cells, the use of growth factors, and more sensitive techniques to detect chromosomally abnormal cells. Cyto-genetic analysis of human tumors is often technically difficult due to the presence of multiple abnormal cell lines and the complexity of the chromosomal pattern. Moreover, the interpretation of chromosomal banding patterns requires highly skilled personnel. These factors have led investigators to seek alternative methods for identifying chromosomal abnormalities. DNA-based or RNA-based techniques, such as Southern blot analysis of DNA or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of RNA from tumor cells, are being used increasingly to detect those abnormalities for which the involved genes have been identified. Recently, another technique has been developed that has applications in the detection of chromosomal abnormalities as well as other genetic changes in both interphase and metaphase cells, namely, tlu-orescence in situ hybridization (FISH).I4 Analysis of the cy-togenetic pattern of nondividing cells by FISH was first introduced by Cremer et a14 and is often referred to as " interphase cytogenetic^."^ In the short time since the development of FISH, this technique has had a major impact on the capabilities of cytoge-netics and pathology laboratories because (I) it is a rapid technique; (2) the efficiency of hybridization and detection is high; (3) the sensitivity and specificity is very high; (4) large numbers of cells can be analyzed in a short time; (5) cyto-genetic data can be obtained from nondividing or terminally differentiated cells, or from poor samples that contain too few cells for routine cytogenetic studies, eg, samples obtained from patients shortly after chemotherapy or a bone marrow transplant; (6) the technique permits the direct correlation of cytogenetic and cytologic/morphologic features, which enables pathologists to differentiate malignant from benign conditions in equivocal cases; and (7) the technique may be adapted for automated systems. The technique of FISH is based on the same principle as Southern blot analysis, ie, the ability of single-stranded DNA to anneal to complementary DNA. As in Southern blot analysis , the target DNA is attached to a substrate; in the case of FISH, the target DNA is the nuclear DNA of interphase cells or the DNA of metaphase chromosomes that are affixed to a glass microscope slide (FISH can also be accomplished with …
