We have developed epifluorescence filter sets and computer software for the detection and discrimination of 27 different DNA probes hybridized simultaneously. For karyotype analysis, a pool of human chromosome painting probes, each labelled with a different fluor combination, was hybridized to metaphase chromosomes prepared from normal cells, clinical specimens, and neoplastic cell lines. Both simple and complex chromosomal rearrangements could be detected rapidly and unequivocally; many of the move complex chromosomal abnormalities could not be delineated by conventional cytogenetic banding techniques. Our data suggest that multiplex-fluorescence in situ hybridization (M-FISH) could have wide clinical utility and complement standard cytogenetics, particularly for the characterization of complex karyotypes.
