Part Descriptions

LP411829-7   MDM2 gene copy number
MDM2 gene amplification studies evaluate the number of copies of the MDM2 gene present in a single cell to aid in the differential diagnosis between well-differentiated liposarcoma and benign lipoma. Amplification is determined based on the MDM2 gene copy number and MDM2 to centromere ratio (CEP12). An MDM2/CEP12 ratio of >= 2 strongly supports a diagnosis of well-differentiated liposarcoma.

LP62864-1   FISH
FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) is a cytogenetic technique used to detect and localize the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences on chromosomes. FISH uses fluorescent probes that bind to only those parts of the chromosome with which they show a high degree of sequence similarity. Fluorescence microscopy can be used to find out where the fluorescent probe bound to the chromosomes. FISH is often used for finding specific features in DNA for use in genetic counseling, medicine, and species identification. FISH can also be used to detect and localize specific mRNAs within tissue samples. In this context, it can help define the spatial-temporal patterns of gene expression within cells and tissues.
