This fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probe is intended to detect the copy number of the LSI 13q34 probe target located at chromosome 13q34.Genetic aberrations of chromosome 13, especially 13q- and monosomy, are common in hematopoietic disorders. Deletions of 13q14 have been detected in 30-50% of multiple myeloma patients. The differentiation of an interstitial deletion from loss of the entire q arm is made difficult for lack of a more telomeric marker. The 13q34 probe is located near the telomere region of the q arm. This Probe has been used to detect copy number abnormalities of the 13q34 probe target in multiple myeloma samples. Know more at: http://www.creative-bioarray.com/13q34-Probe-FHPC-002-item-4643.htm
