Introduction
An Introduction to Cytocell Cytocell’s FISH business is now the oldest and most experienced in the world. The first products were developed over 23 years ago at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, England, where, in 1991, the first of our directly labelled FISH probes were produced. These were also the first to employ a novel co-denaturation protocol that has now become universally adopted for FISH worldwide. These developments were followed by the first complete set of subtelomeric probes, along with a unique delivery device that enabled them all to be FISHed on a single slide, and the largest range of Microdeletion syndrome probes available. From these humble beginnings, our catalogue flourished so that today it contains around 430 different products, including an enviable range of Haematology and Solid Tumour probes, making it the largest FISH catalogue available. We are justifiably proud of our achievements over the last 23 years and equally as proud to have served you, our customers. Over the years, we have actively listened to and acted upon your needs and requirements leading to the development of our current portfolio of FISH probes, which are available in a convenient liquid format and packaged in kit sizes appropriate to your laboratory workload. Our success and enviable record for quality and service, along with our extensive distributor network throughout the world made Cytocell a clear partner for a similarly orientated company, Oxford Gene Technology, who, early in 2014, added Cytocell to their portfolio of products aimed at the Molecular Diagnostics market. Oxford Gene Technology was founded by Professor Sir Ed Southern to commercialise his oligonucleotide microarray technology. The Company has expanded its product offerings to now encompass both microarrays and Next Generation Sequencing through the company’s CytoSure™ and Genefficiency™ range of products and services. Together, both companies can now offer a comprehensive portfolio of diagnostic tests, delivering high-quality, high-throughput genetic analyses. This latest catalogue continues the trend of the last few years in that it is again our largest to date and contains the single largest collection of FISH probes available from one supplier. In addition, Cytocell is committed to the future development and expansion of our probe catalogue through the use of our proprietary sequence data and exclusive BAC collection. Under the banner of “myProbes®”, Cytocell is proud to offer our FISH expertise and services to our customers for the development of custom built probes. Using our myProbes® service and its website (www.myprobes.com), we can supply FISH probes tailored to your exact needs and specification, from establishing new diagnostic tests to research into genetic aberrations found in cancer.

Aquarius® Overview The Aquarius® range consists of directly labelled FISH probes for constitutional cytogenetic and oncology applications. All Aquarius® probes provide the benefits of: • Economical kit formats: 5 and 10 tests. Prenatal probes are also available in 30 or 50 test formats. • Liquid stable reagents premixed in hybridisation solution, provided with DAPI counterstain and full instructions for use. • Directly labelled probes allowing visualisation with standard (FITC, Texas Red® and DAPI) microscope filters. • Designed for FISH on interphase nuclei and metaphase chromosomes.
The procedure is simple: 1 Spot slide with cell sample and dehydrate.
2 Apply Aquarius® probe onto dehydrated cell sample.
3 Place coverslip onto slide and seal.
4 Denature on a hotplate and hybridise overnight.
5 Wash with rapid, formamide-free stringency washes.
6 Apply DAPI counterstain provided and view under a fluorescent microscope.
8
Multiprobe Overview The Chromoprobe Multiprobe® System is an extension of Cytocell's proprietary Chromoprobe® technology, whereby DNA FISH probes are reversibly bound to the surface of a glass device. These probes dissolve back into solution once in contact with the supplied hybridisation buffer, whilst denaturation of the probes and target DNA occurs simultaneously under the device once heated. This approach not only simplifies the whole FISH procedure but also renders it safer and quicker to use. This system allows multiple FISH probes to be hybridised on the same slide in a spatially separated manner allowing rapid screening of a patient sample for a number of different DNA sequences in a single FISH analysis. The assay is supplied in a kit format of 2, 5 or 10 devices and includes hybridisation solution, DAPI counterstain, template slides, a hybridisation chamber and full instructions for use. The kit even contains a unique liquid crystal display slide surface thermometer for accurate temperature measurement of the denaturation surface.
The procedure is simple:
2
1
Spot 2µl (or 4µl for an 8 square device) of cell sample onto alternate squares of the supplied slide.
Soak the slides in 100% methanol, then polish dry with a lint free cloth.
7
6
Carefully lower spotted slide onto the device.
4
3
Check the temperature of the hotplate using the slide surface thermometer provided. Denature the slide/device at 75°C for 2 minutes.
Once dry, fill in the remaining squares with the cell sample and check using phase contrast.
8
Place slides in 2xSSC for 2 minutes and then dehydrate through an ethanol series.
9
Place slide/device in hybridisation chamber supplied and float on the surface of a clean 37°C waterbath overnight.
Wash in 0.4xSSC at 72°C for 2 minutes, then 2xSSC/0.05% Tween at room temperature for 30 seconds.
5
Spot 1µl (or 2µl for an 8 square device) of supplied hybridisation solution onto each square of the device.
10
Apply DAPI counterstain provided and view under a fluorescence microscope.

Tissue Pretreatment Overview Introducing the first Pretreatment Kit capable of preparing slides for CISH and/or FISH analysis on Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tissue. Our ready-to-use Tissue Pretreatment Kit has been optimised to produce excellent visual results with our extensive AquariusÂŽ Pathology FISH range. To further extend the utility of the kit we have also validated its use with other commercially available CISH (Chromogeneic In Situ Hybridisation) and FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation) DNA probes. With ease-of-use and convenience in mind, our simple two stage FFPE slide preparation protocol employs the use of ready-to-use reagents; which have been optimised to increase the permeabilisation of cell membranes and facilitate penetration of the desired FISH or CISH DNA probe.
The procedure is simple:
1 Deparaffinise slides and rehydrate through an ethanol series.
2 Place slides into Tissue Pretreatment Solution (Reagent 1), preheated to 100°C.
3 Rinse slides and apply Enzyme Reagent provided.
4 Dehydrate slides through an ethanol series and continue with FISH denaturation and hybridisation protocol.

Probe Maps Probe maps in this 2014/2015 version of the Cytocell catalogue have been updated to include information on gene orientation to allow the 3’ or 5’ positions of the probes to be seen in relation to the gene, or region, of interest. The arrows on the genes indicate the direction of transcription. Those with an arrow above, pointing to the right, are located on the plus, or sense, strand of the DNA. Those with an arrow below the gene, pointing to the left, are on the minus, antisense strand. In both cases, the 5’ end is that with the arrow as genes are transcribed in a 5’ to 3’ direction. Examples can be seen below.

Haematology
Haematology As long ago as the 19th Century, nuclear changes were recognised as being significant in cancer biology. Advances in cytogenetics and molecular cytogenetics in the last century showed that although a number of numerical and structural chromosome changes appeared to be random and non-specific, rearrangements involving individual chromosomes were shown to define specific abnormalities in individual tumour types. Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation (FISH), using locus-specific probes that are capable of defining these stereotypic structural rearrangements, has now become a routine diagnostic test in the clinical laboratory and the technique has thus been shown to be useful in the management of cancer patients. Cytocell offers a range of FISH probes, specific for a number of haematological malignancies, which are available in the Aquarius速 liquid format. These probes are directly labelled, ready to use in hybridisation buffer and available in economical five, and larger ten, test kits. The protocol is rapid and simple and has been developed to allow co-denaturation of the FISH probe and target DNA simultaneously. The probe mixtures are designed for use on interphase nuclei and metaphase chromosomes from cultured peripheral blood cells or cultured bone marrow samples.

AML1 (RUNX1) Breakapart The AML1 (RUNX1) gene is the most frequent target of chromosomal rearrangements observed in human acute leukaemia. The most common rearrangements are the TEL/AML1 and AML1/ETO fusions. The TEL(ETV6)/AML1 fusion is brought about by the t(12;21)(p13;q22) translocation, observed in around 21% of childhood B-ALL cases1, whilst the AML1/ETO(RUNX1T1) fusion is the result of the t(8;21)(q21;q22) translocation observed in ~40% of AML M2 cases and 5-12% of AML cases overall2. Both of these rearrangements provide for a favourable outcome3,4.
AML ALL RefeRenCes
The AML1 gene is also rearranged in many other rare translocations, with partners including chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 16, 20 and X. The Cytocell AML1 breakapart product has been designed to allow the detection of rearrangements regardless of the partner gene. Rearrangements of AML1 are not restricted to translocations. Using FISH, amplifications of chromosome 21 (iAMP21), including the AML1 gene, have also been found in childhood ALL5,6. These amplifications have been associated with poor outcome7.

AML1/ETO (RUNX1/RUNX1T1) Translocation, Dual Fusion AML1 (RUNX1 - Runt related Transcription Factor 1) is fused with ETO (RUNX1T1) in the t(8;21)(q21;q22) translocation, found most commonly in AML M2 patients and less frequently in subgroups M1 and M41. Overall, 7% of AML cases demonstrate the abnormality, the majority of which are de novo1. Additional abnormalities occur in around 80% of cases - these may be loss of a sex chromosome, del(9q), trisomy 8 or monosomy 71. Three-way variants of this rearrangement, along with the t(3;21) (AML1/EVI1, also known as RUNX1/MECOM) show that juxtaposition of AML1 to the derivative chromosome is consistent and therefore the critical part of the rearrangement2,3. AML1 is the most common target for translocations in acute myeloid leukaemia. The breakpoint mainly occurs in the intron between exons 5 and 6 just before the transactivation domain. The fusion proteins created contain the DNA-binding domain of AML1 fused to the transcription factors ETO or EVI1 (on chromosomes 8 and 3 respectively)1. These abnormalities can give rise to tumourigenic growth through a number of different mechanisms.

ATM Deletion The protein kinase ATM (Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated) gene, located in 11q22.3, is frequently deleted in cases of B-CLL. ATM is an important checkpoint gene involved in the management of cell damage and its function is to assess the level of DNA damage in the cell and attempt repair by phosphorylating key substrates involved in the DNA damage response pathway. The ATM/P53 (also known as TP53) interaction in B-CLL has been shown to play an important role in the proliferation of lymphoid cancer1. It has been shown that ATM enhances the phosphorylation of P532, should the damage be so great that the cell requires destruction by apoptosis (which is mediated by P53). Deletion of ATM removes this checkpoint activity and hence activation of P53. Thus, there is no attempt made to repair, or apoptosis of, damaged cells, despite the presence of P53. In the absence of ATM, damaged cells are allowed to continue to proliferate.
CLL RefeRenCes 1. 2. 3.
Screening for deletions of ATM and/or P53 is vital to allow informed therapy choices for CLL patients, especially as deletions of P53 and ATM confer poor prognosis3.

In these cases, FISH is essential for highlighting the fusion gene8. Ph+ Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) is characterised by its resistance to conventional standard chemotherapy and poor prognosis6, so accurate and rapid identification of this chromosomal abnormality is vital.

BCR/ABL(ABL1) Plus Translocation, Dual Fusion The presence of the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) has important diagnostic and prognostic implications in a number of haematological disorders.
ALL AML CML
The abnormality is characteristic of Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML), found in around 90% of cases, but also represents a significant abnormality in 30% of adult and 2 to 10% of childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) cases1,2,3,4,5. This rearrangement is also seen in rare cases of Acute Myelogenous Leukaemia (AML)6. As a result of the Philadelphia translocation, t(9;22)(q34.12;q11.23), the ABL1 (Abelson) proto-oncogene and the BCR (Breakpoint Cluster Region) gene fuse, giving rise to the BCR/ABL1 fusion gene. The translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 can be accompanied by loss of proximal sequences on the derivative chromosome 97. The deletion encompassing the ASS1 gene is associated with poor prognosis, though this may be partially abrogated by treatment with imatinib8. Therefore, the establishment of the atypical patterns in the BCR/ABL1 translocation may have clinical diagnostic and prognostic implications.

BCL6 Breakapart* Rearrangements of the BCL6 gene have been observed in 28.6-35.5% of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) and in 6.4-14.3% of Follicular Lymphoma (FL)1. This translocation results in the dysregulation of BCL6 and may involve the IGH, IGK and IGL genes, although other non-Ig partner genes have also been identified2,3. BCL6 encodes a 95kD nuclear phosphoprotein belonging to the pox virus zinc finger (POZ)/zinc finger (ZF) family of transcription factors4. BCL6 functions as a transcriptional repressor and plays an important regulatory role in lymphoid cell development and function. In the B-cell lineage, the BCL6 protein is expressed only in germinal centre B cells5. Translocations involving band 3q27.3 affect a 4kb major breakpoint region of BCL6 in the first non-coding exon and 5' region of the first intron, and are common in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Recently, an alternative breakpoint cluster region located between 245 and 285kb 5' of BCL6 was identified in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) and may be preferentially associated with follicular lymphoma6.

CBFβ/MYH11 Translocation, Dual Fusion The fusion gene CBFβ (CBFB)/MYH11, created by the inversion inv(16)(p13.11q22.1), is found in 20% of AML M4 cases - in particular M4 with marked eosinophilia (M4eo) - and rarely, in M2, M5 and M4 without eosinophilia1. Overall, abnormalities involving 16q22 are seen in 5-10% of AML1,2,3. Frequently, Central Nervous System (CNS) involvement develops, particularly in relapse. However, the complete remission rate is high and the prognosis is better than most of the AML associated abnormalities3. The inversion may be missed in poor cytogenetic preparations. FISH probes for 16p13 often show a deletion within 16p13 in addition to the 16p13.11/16q22.1 rearrangement (~20% cases). In these patients, the split signal may be lost. Variant rearrangements are the (16;16)(p13;q22) and del(16)(q22). The latter is associated with previous MDS, older age, a complex karyotype and a worse prognosis. Additional abnormalities include +8, +22, del(7q) and +2, which confer no change to the prognosis1. The breakpoints occur in intron 5 of CBFB and intron 5 of MYH11. The N-terminal of CBFB fuses to the C-terminal of MYH11 with its multimerisation domain. The resultant chimaeric protein reduces the amount of active CBF. An accumulation of CBFB-MYH11/CBFA multimers in the nucleus also occurs. CBFB regulates expression of certain ADP-Ribosylation Factors (ARFs) and other tumour suppressor genes (TSGs) and therefore the fusion protein is thought to repress TSG expression3.

CKS1B/CDKN2C(P18) Amplification/Deletion Structural abnormalities of chromosome 1 are frequently detected in multiple myeloma and have been correlated with more advanced disease1. Amplification of 1q21 (CKS1B) is one of the most recurrent chromosomal aberrations in multiple myeloma3. Over-expression of the CKS1B gene up-regulates cell cycle progression, resulting in a more proliferative disease2. This is related to the advanced phenotype of multiple myeloma and may therefore be associated with poor prognosis and disease progression3. Gain of 1q21 has been linked to inferior survival and further amplification is observed in disease relapse. It has been shown that gain of 1q21 copy number is not an independent prognostic factor in multiple myeloma and it is often associated with other chromosomal aberrations, most commonly t(4:14)(p16;q32) (IGH-FGFR3) and chromosome 13 deletion2. The association of 1q21 gain and loss of chromosome 13 has been linked to the risk of conversion to overt disease2. In a case study of multiple myeloma patients, it was discovered that 30% of chromosomal abnormalities mapped to chromosome 1, that most up-regulated genes mapped to chromosome 1q and down-regulated genes to chromosome 1p4. Gains of the long arm 1q are one of the most common genetic abnormalities in multiple myeloma5 and duplications of chromosome band 1q are frequently associated with disease progression3,6,7.

CDKN2C (P18), in band 1p32.3, is a tumour suppressor gene responsible for inducing apoptotic cell death and DNA fragmentation8. It is up-regulated by the expression of the cytokine IL-6 in multiple myeloma and homozygous deletion of the gene is associated with a more proliferative disease8. Although CDKN2C deletions have been reported to be rare in human malignancy, cytogenetic analyses have shown that abnormalities of 1p32-36 occur in around 16% of human multiple myeloma9.

CLL PROFILER Kit The Cytocell CLL PROFILER Kit is intended to detect deletions of P53, ATM and D13S319, and gains of the chromosome 12 centromere sequence in peripheral blood or bone marrow samples from patients with B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (B-CLL).
P53(TP53)/ATM Probe Combination P53 is a tumour suppressor gene that mediates the apoptosis of damaged cells. It has been found that approximately 17% of B-CLL patients have deletions of the P53 gene1. Patients exhibiting this genotype are associated with a poor prognosis2 as they harbour a proliferating population of damaged cells. The ATM gene is an important regulatory candidate in cell damage management. When it is deleted damaged cells are neither repaired nor apoptosed and are allowed to proliferate. The detection of the ATM deletion in CLL is important as it indicates poor prognosis and can define a patient's therapy3. Deletions of ATM and P53 are the most serious rearrangements involved in CLL and detection of deletions of these genes provides very important information as to the therapy choices for such patients especially since deletions of P53 and ATM provide a poor prognosis4,5.
D13S319/13qter/12cen Deletion/Enumeration Deletions affecting the 13q14 band are the most frequent genetic abnormalities of B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (B-CLL)6. This region is found deleted heterozygously in 30-60% and homozygously in 10-20% of CLL patients7. Recently though, the survival rate has been shown to be similar8. Two non-coding RNA genes, DLEU1 and DLEU2, and the genetic marker D13S319, span the pathogenic critical region 13q14.39. DLEU1 is considered to be the most likely CLL-associated candidate tumour suppressor gene within the 13q14 region10. Trisomy of chromosome 12 is the most common chromosome abnormality in B-CLL11,12,13,14 and is now thought to have strong prognostic significance15. The molecular consequences of the additional chromosome are not clear, though it has been shown to be more common in the non-dividing cells rather than mitoses which are frequently found to be cytogenetically normal. This was deduced from FISH studies using centromeric probes for chromosome 1211.

P53 (TP53) (17p13.1) P53 (TP53) is a tumour suppressor gene that mediates the apoptosis of damaged cells. It has been found that approximately 17% of B-CLL patients have deletions of the P53 gene4. Patients exhibiting this genotype are associated with a poor prognosis5 as they harbour a proliferating population of damaged cells.
ATM (11q22.3) The ATM gene is an important regulatory candidate in cell damage management. When it is deleted, damaged cells are neither repaired nor apoptosed and are allowed to proliferate. Screening for deletions of ATM is important to allow informed therapy choices for CLL patients, especially as deletions confer poor prognosis5.
MYB (6q23.3) Deletions of chromosome 6q are found in B-CLL, with breakpoints being reported in bands 6q13, q15 or q21. The MYB gene is essential in haematopoietic cell proliferation and differentiation. It is located in band 6q23.3 and is provided as a marker for 6q deletion as it is distal to reported deletion breakpoints (6q13, 6q15 and 6q21)6.

cMYC (MYC) Breakapart* Translocations involving the MYC (cMYC) oncogene (Avian Myelocytomatosis Viral Oncogene Homologue) are a molecular feature of Burkitt lymphoma and occur in almost every case. These rearrangements can also be found in 5 to 10% of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)1. The majority of rearrangements result in the juxtaposition of MYC to IGH, IGL or IGK in the t(8;14), t(8;22) or t(2;8) respectively. In each case, this results in dysregulation of MYC (as a result of being close to the constitutively active immunoglobulin locus), increased transcription and neoplastic growth2. The breakpoints involved are widely scattered throughout the gene but the t(8;14) translocation always spares the protein coding exons which become attached to the derived 14. In the t(2;8) and t(8;22), MYC remains on chromosome 8 and the immunoglobulin locus joins it, resulting in close positioning of the MYC and immunoglobulin loci. Rare cases of translocations not involving immunoglobulin partners have also been reported3.

Patients with MYC rearrangements, in isolation of a confirmed diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma, were originally thought to have poor prognoses but they do respond well to intensive chemotherapy affording them an increased survival rate. This shows that cytogenetic confirmation of the rearrangement is necessary to manage the patient effectively4.

CRLF2 Breakapart* and P2RY8 Deletion* Overexpression of Cytokine Receptor-Like Factor 2 (CRLF2) has been shown to occur in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL), particularly that associated with Down Syndrome (DS-ALL)1,2. Overexpression of this protein has been associated with activation of the JAK/STAT5 pathway in transduced primary B-cell progenitors1,3 and various groups have attempted to characterise the biochemical consequences of these genetic lesions, with the goal of identifying targets for new therapies2,3. CRLF2 overexpression has been shown to be caused by chromosomal rearrangements including the t(X;14) or t(Y;14) translocations or interstitial deletions of the pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1) of chromosomes X and Y. These place CRLF2 under control of an IGH enhancer1 or juxtapose the first non-coding exon of P2RY8 to the coding region of CRLF22, respectively. All of these CRLF2 rearrangements are cytogenetically cryptic and cannot be detected by conventional G-banded analysis1, making FISH a powerful detection tool for these abnormalities and an aid to furthering this research. Our CRLF2 Breakapart probe will detect rearrangements of the CRLF2 gene, whilst the P2RY8 Deletion probe allows detection of deletions between CRLF2 and P2RY8, causing the fusion gene.

Deletion 13q14.3, D13S319 Plus and D13S25 Chromosome 13q abnormalities occur in 16-40% of multiple myeloma cases and are associated with poor prognosis1,2. A case study has shown that in 90% of patients, the 13q14 region was affected and 68% also showed involvement of the 13q21 region - the critical region in all but 8 patients was narrowed down to 13q143. Deletions affecting 13q14 are also the most frequent structural genetic abnormalities in B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (B-CLL)4. This region is found to be heterozygously deleted in 30-60% and homozygously deleted in 10-20% of CLL patients5. Recently though, the survival rate has been shown to be similar for the two groups6. Two non-coding RNA genes, DLEU1 and DLEU2, and the genetic marker D13S319, span the pathogenic critical region of 13q147. DLEU1 is considered to be the most likely CLL-associated candidate tumour suppressor gene within the 13q14 region8. Subsequently, D13S319, located between the RB1 gene and D13S25 and within the DLEU1 locus, was found to be deleted in 44% of CLL cases9. It has also been postulated that a gene telomeric to the D13S319 region, encompassing D13S25, may be important in cases with hemizygous deletions and that this gene is a putative tumour suppressor gene10.

Del(5q) Deletion Deletion of a region of chromosome 5q, which includes the EGR1 gene, is one of the most common rearrangements in AML and MDS1,2. The deletions are large, with breakpoints occurring between bands 5q11 and 5q35, and are usually interstitial. Two regions, 5q12-14 and 5q31-33, are hot spots for breakpoints but the common deleted region (CDR) in AML and aggressive MDS cases is within 5q31.12,3.
AML
Early Growth Response 1 (EGR1) maps to this band3 and loss of this gene may cause tumourigenesis in at least two ways: Firstly, EGR1 directly controls the expression of fibronectin (FN1) through pathways that involve TGFB1 and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (SERPINE1 or PAI1). EGR1 dependent expression of TGFB1 inhibits human cancer cell growth in model cells4. In addition, EGR1 is required for p53-dependent apoptosis through the mediation of Retinoblastoma

Del(7q) Deletion Abnormalities of chromosome 7 are very common in myeloid malignancies, such as adult and paediatric MDS and treatment related AML/MDS. In children, it is often associated with juvenile Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (jCML)1,2,3,4. There is also a predominance in leukaemias associated with a constitutional predisposition, caused by disorders including neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1), Fanconi Anaemia and possibly Down syndrome, which produces a distinct clinical picture known as Monosomy 7 syndrome. Another rearrangement, -5/del(5q), is found as an additional abnormality in 40-60% of secondary MDS cases. +8 is less frequently seen4. Studies of myeloid disorders involving -7/del(7q) have found that signalling pathways involving RAS proteins are affected. There are two commonly deleted regions (CDR): one at 7q22, the other at 7q31-342,3,5,6,7. RELN (7q22) encodes a large secreted protein related to extracellular matrix proteins, a family of proteins that contains multiple epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like proteins.

Del(20q) Deletion Deletions of the long arm of chromosome 20 are a common chromosomal abnormality associated with myeloid malignancies, in particular myeloproliferative disorders (MPD), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML)1. The deletions are predominantly interstitial2. Often other cytogenetic abnormalities are present such as del(5q), -7/del(7q), +8, del(18q), +21 and rearrangements of 13q. Due to the
AML
relatively small size of the deletion and the lack of banding features on chromosome 20, FISH is particularly useful in detecting this abnormality. The prognosis for MDS cases where del(20q) is the sole abnormality is good. However if secondary abnormalities are present, a poor outcome is indicated3. AML patients respond poorly to treatment and have reduced survival rates. The clinical outcome for MPD patients remains unchanged in the presence of the abnormality4.

The mechanism of leukaemogenesis associated with del(20q) is unknown, however, deletion of a tumour suppressor gene (TSG) is thought to cause the increased proliferation of the cancer cells4. Using RT-PCR analysis, Bench et al identified potential target genes in the region of overlap between the AML/MDS and MPD CDR at band 20q12. Five genes were expressed in both bone marrow and CD34 positive cells. Of the three previously identified genes, L(3)MBT regulates chromatin structure during mitosis, SFRS6 encodes a serine rich protein important to regulation of alternative splicing of mRNA, and MYBL2, a member of the MYB transcription factor family, is involved in cell cycle control5,6,7.

E2A (TCF3) Breakapart Translocations involving the E2A (TCF3: Transcription Factor 3) gene are some of the most common rearrangements in childhood B-ALL, specifically B-cell precursor ALL1. The two main partner genes are PBX1 and HLF (on chromosomes 1 and 17 respectively) which become fused to E2A as a result of the t(1;19) and t(17;19) translocations, forming the E2A/PBX1 and E2A/HLF fusion proteins. Other translocation partners have also been detected. The t(1;19) is the most common E2A rearrangement, being present in around 5% of B-ALL and 20% of pre B-ALL2, whilst the t(17;19) is present in around 1% of all ALL cases3. Both are historically associated with a poor outcome, though treatment therapies have overcome this in the case of the t(1;19)4. Detection of the t(1;19) is best carried out using molecular methods, such as FISH, as the fusion has been shown to be missed in 20 to 25% of patients by standard cytogenetics5. Similarly, other E2A translocations have been shown to be cytogenetically cryptic6.

EVI1 (MECOM) Breakapart Chromosome rearrangements involving band 3q26.2 are associated with myeloid malignancies, aberrant expression of the human ecotropic virus integration site 1 (EVI1) gene, an unfavourable prognosis and an aggressive clinical course1. The EVI1 gene encodes a 1051 amino acid zinc finger protein that is inappropriately expressed in the leukaemic cells of between 2-5% of AML and MDS patients . EVI1 activation often follows a chromosomal

The majority of breakpoints in 3q26.2 translocations are telomeric to the EVI1 gene and cover a region including the telomeric end of the MDS1 gene and the MYNN gene1.

FIP1L1/CHIC2/PDGFRA Deletion/Fusion Deletion of CHIC2 in patients with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) and chronic eosinophilic leukaemia (CEL) results in the fusion of FIP1L1 (FIP1-like 1) with PDGFRA (platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha) producing a tyrosine kinase which transforms haematopoietic cells.

In such patients, this activity is inhibited by imatinib mesylate (Gleevec), which is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The diagnosis of the fusion gene can therefore lead to therapeutic choices for the patient1,2.

IGH is involved in a large number of different rearrangements with fusion partners on almost every other chromosome. Many of these rearrangements have been reported in only one or a few cases but some are more common, such as IGH/BCL2, caused by the t(14;18) translocation5, and IGH/CCND1, a result of the t(11;14) translocation6. All these rearrangements do, however, have breakpoints within the IGH gene. We have designed a split probe set for IGH, which allows the detection of rearrangements, regardless of the partner gene involved.

IGH/BCL2 Plus Translocation, Dual Fusion* This is a recurrent rearrangement of IGH in CLL1 and is cytogenetically indistinguishable from the t(14;18) translocation observed in follicular lymphoma. The translocation (t(14;18)(q32.33;q21.33)) is thought to be brought about by an error in the joining function of the IGH gene, mediated by the observation that both IGH and BCL2 are arranged next to each other in 3D space in normal B lymphocytes2. The translocation breakpoint at the end of the Joining (J) segment, and the subsequent fusion of the BCL2 gene to this region, results in the BCL2 gene coming under the regulatory control of those processes normally involved in maintenance of IGH gene activity. The protein encoded by the BCL2 gene has been shown to be involved in the regulation of apoptosis.

IGH/CCND1 Plus Translocation, Dual Fusion* Although translocations involving IGH and CCND1 (BCL1) were initially reported in B-CLL patients, the rearrangement is now considered to be a hallmark of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Reciprocal translocations involving the IGH and CCND1 (previously known as BCL1) loci, t(11;14)(q13;q32), have been reported in B-CLL patients1. The CCND1/IGH probe for detection of t(11;14) has been recommended by the British Committee for Standards in Haematology to enable atypical B-CLL patients to be distinguished from possible MCL patients2.

IGH/CCND3 Plus Translocation, Dual Fusion Approximately 40-60% of Multiple Myeloma cases are associated with translocations involving the IgH locus at chromosome 14q32 and one of several partners including CCND1, WHSC1 (MMSET), CCND3, MAF or MAFB. Cases lacking an IgH translocation are associated with a hyperdiploid phenotype1. The CCND3/IGH translocation, t(6;14)(p21;q32), has been reported in 4% of multiple myeloma tumours2. However, it is also characteristic of a variety of other B-cell malignancies, including plasma cell leukaemia, diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (DLBCL) and Splenic Lymphomas with Villous Lymphocytes (SLVLs)3. CCND3 has been identified as a putative oncogene that is dysregulated as a consequence of the translocation2. The translocation appears to be mediated by an error in IgH switch recombination as it has been shown that in KMM-1 cell lines, the translocation disrupts a switch sequence in this region and results in juxtaposition of CCND3 with the IGH promoter, thus elevating the levels of CCND3 expression2. It is thought that this mechanism is similar in all cases of IgH translocation. Most breakpoints appear to be clustered in a region that is fewer than 200kb centromeric to CCND32 and this region is flanked by the Cytocell probe.

IGH/cMYC(MYC) Plus Translocation, Dual Fusion* The cMYC(MYC)/IGH translocation t(8;14), and the variant forms t(2;8)(p13;q24) and t(8;22)(q24;q11), are found in Burkitt's lymphoma and mature B-cell or Burkitt's type Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL)1. The t(8;14) is the most common and is found in approximately 85% of patients with Burkitt's lymphoma2. While translocation breakpoints on chromosome 14 are clustered to a narrow region 5' to the intron enhancer of the immunoglobulin heavy chain, the breakpoints on chromosome 8 can occur more than 340kb upstream of MYC, with no preferential site3. The translocation brings MYC into close proximity to the IgH enhancer and results in the up-regulation of MYC4. Over expression of the transcription factor stimulates gene amplification resulting in uncontrolled cell proliferation, which usually occurs in the late event of tumour progression5.

IGH/FGFR3 Plus Translocation, Dual Fusion The t(4;14)(p16.3;q32.3) translocation is found in 15-20% of multiple myeloma patients and results in the known dysregulation of two genes, one on each derivative chromosome: MMSET (Multiple Myeloma SET domain containing protein, also known as WHSC1) on the der(4) and FGFR3 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 3) on the der(14)1. The majority of the breakpoints on chromosome 4 occur within the MMSET locus resulting in a fusion gene where the 5' exons of MMSET are replaced with the VDJ region of the heavy chain locus. This results in MMSET being brought under the influence of the enhancer Eµ on the der(4)1, FGFR3 lies at least 50kb from the breakpoints after translocation to chromosome 14 and FGFR3 expression is upregulated via proximity to the strong enhancer elements (particularly the Ea enhancer) in the immunoglobulin heavy chain2. Other studies state that the breakpoints on chromosome 4 lie in a 113kb region between FGFR3 and MMSET exon 53.

profiling of myeloma cell lines revealed that MAF caused transactivation of cyclin D2 (a promoter of cell cycle progression), thus enhancing proliferation of myeloma cells4. Within or near to the MAF/IGH breakpoint region lies the putative tumour suppressor gene, WWOX, which spans the common chromosomal fragile site 16D (FRA16D) at chromosome 16q23.3-24.1 – a region that is a frequent target for both loss of heterozygosity and chromosomal rearrangements in ovarian, breast, hepatocellular and prostate carcinomas as well as other neoplasias5.

IGH/MAFB Plus Translocation, Dual Fusion The t(14;20) translocation is one of seven recurrent IGH translocations that are referred to as primary oncogenic events in around 73% of Multiple Myeloma (MM) cases1. These translocations result in a transcription product that dysregulates further genes, such as the cyclin family of cell cycle control genes, which then disrupts normal cell division. In the case of the t(14;20) translocation, the reciprocal rearrangement brings a truncated form of the IGH Îź-Enhancer (EÎź, located between the Joining (J) segments and the constant region of the IGH gene) in close contact with the MAFB gene2. The resultant fusion and the up-regulated transcription product has been shown to cause dysregulation of Cyclin D2 in around 7% of tumours3. Of the seven translocation partners of IGH in multiple myeloma (including CCND1, CCND2, CCND3, MAF, MAFA and FGFR3/MMSET), MAFB has a prevalence of around 2%4. Involvement of any of the three MAF genes provides equally poor prognoses and a similar phenotype for patients5, but the MAFB translocation shows a different prevalence in multiple myeloma patients (2%) compared to Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) and Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (SMM) cases (7%)5.

IGH/MYEOV Plus Translocation, Dual Fusion The most common translocation in Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the t(11;14)(q13;q32)1, which accounts for 15-20% of cases as identified by FISH2. Unlike Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), where the breakpoints are clustered in a 1kb region that is 120kb centromeric to the CCND1 gene3, the breakpoints in Multiple Myeloma cases are dispersed within a 360kb region between CCND1 and MYEOV (MYEloma OVerexpressed) in band 11q134. MYEOV is a putative oncogene, located 360kb away from CCND1, which is thought to be activated in the translocation by becoming closely associated with IGH enhancers. In contrast to IGH rearrangements in other neoplasms, those found in Multiple Myeloma have IGH breakpoints predominantly in the C/J region, which, in the case of MYEOV, brings the MYEOV gene under the control of the 3' Eα1 enhancer4. In CCND1 translocations by contrast, the Eμ enhancer controls CCND1 expression. MYEOV overexpression is a possible prognostic factor in MM5.

IGK Breakapart* Translocations involving the immunoglobulin loci are recurring events in various subtypes of B-cell lymphomas. In addition to translocations involving the IGH locus, variant translocations have been described in 5-10% of B-cell neoplasms involving either the immunoglobulin kappa (IGK) light chain locus at 2p11.2 or the lambda light chain (IGL) at 22q11.21,2. The best known translocations involving IG light chain loci are the variant Burkitt's translocations t(2;8)(p12;q24) and t(8;22)(q24;q11), which are present in up to 21% of all Burkitt's lymphomas3. Other translocations involve the BCL6 oncogene, the t(2;3)(p12;q27) and t(3;22)(q27;q11)4, and BCL2 locus, the t(2;18)(p12;q21) and t(18;22)(q21;q11)5. Translocations involving the IG light chain loci usually lead to breakage within the joining region of the respective locus2. IGK has a largely duplicated structure with duplicate gene regions being 96-100% identical. The IGK proximal copy is located within a 542kb contig with 22 potentially functional variable (IGKV) gene segments and 18 pseudogenes, plus five joining (J)-segments and one IGK constant (IGKC) gene segment. The distal copy is a within a 433kb contig with 21 potentially functional IGKV gene segments and 15 pseudogenes. The two contigs are separated by a DNA sequence of around 800kb that does not contain any IGKV segments1.

MLL (KMT2A) Breakapart Rearrangement of the MLL (KMT2A: lysine (K)-specific methyltransferase 2A) gene on chromosome 11q23.3 can be detected in the leukaemic cells of approximately 85% of infants with B-ALL1,2,3. They can also be found in 3% of de novo and 10% of therapy related AML cases4. Translocations involving the MLL gene are generally associated with increased risk of treatment failure5. In infant ALL, the most frequent of these translocations is the t(4;11)(q21;q23.3) translocation involving MLL and the AFF1 (AF4) gene on chromosome 46,7. A poor outcome for infants with ALL is strongly associated with the presence of this rearrangement in particular6. The discovery that a single YAC spanned breakpoints in four of the more common translocations led to the naming of the candidate gene MLL (Myeloid/Lymphoid or Mixed Lineage Leukaemia). The gene has homology with a drosophila gene ('trithorax'), which is highly conserved in humans and gives rise to a protein that can be folded to give six zinc finger domains and is a developmental regulator. The zinc finger domains are translocated to the AFF1, MLLT3 and MLLT1 genes on the partner chromosomes in the aforementioned t(4;11), t(9;11)(p22;q23.3) and t(11;19)(q23.3;p13.3) translocations, respectively. Each of the genes involved in these translocations have been shown to have high sequence homology. There have been over 85 recurrent translocations involving the MLL gene reported, with 66 partner genes so far identified8.

MLL/AFF1 Translocation, Dual Fusion The t(4;11)(q21;q23) translocation that involves the MLL (KMT2A) gene, on chromosome 11q23.3, and the AFF1 gene, on chromosome 4q21.3-q22.1, is the most frequently observed translocation involving the MLL gene in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL)1.
ALL
The t(4:11) translocation results in the generation of two reciprocal fusion genes: MLL/AFF1 and AFF1/MLL – the leukaemic properties of the first have been documented but the role of the AFF1/MLL fusion protein is still under debate2,3,4.
RefeRenCes 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
The 2011 Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Best Practice Guidelines5 state that: “The t(4;11)(q21;q23) is associated with a poor prognosis, and patients with this translocation may be treated on the high risk arm of MRC protocols”…“If chromosome analysis is unsuccessful but FISH indicates a rearrangement of MLL, then further attempts to identify the t(4;11) must be made.”

MLL/MLLT1*, MLL/MLLT3* and MLL/MLLT4* Translocation, Dual Fusion Translocations involving chromosome 11q23 frequently occur in both acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). In most cases, the MLL gene is involved but translocation partners are extremely variable, with 79 direct translocation partners having been molecularly characterised so far. The most common MLL rearrangement in both AML and ALL involves fusion of the MLL and AFF1 (AF4) genes via a t(4;11)(q21;q23) translocation. Three of the other more common translocations involve the MLLT3 (AF9) gene on chromosome 9, the MLLT1 (ENL) gene on chromosome 19 or the MLLT4 (AF6) gene on chromosome 6. • MLL/MLLT3(AF9) - t(9;11)(p22;q23) • MLL/MLLT1(ENL) - t(11;19)(q23;p13.3) • MLL/MLLT4(AF6) - t(6;11)(q27;q23) We now have a range of Research Use Only (RUO) Translocation, Dual Fusion probes to allow specific detection of these MLL rearrangements.

MYB Deletion Deletions of chromosome 6q are found in B-CLL, with breakpoints being reported in bands 6q13, q15 and q21. The MYB gene (Avian Myeloblastosis Viral Oncogene Homolog) is a homologue of the avian v-myb oncogene and has been shown to be highly expressed in all immature lymphoid and myeloid T-cells, but becomes down regulated in mature T or B-cells1. The MYB gene is located in band 6q23.3 and is provided as a marker for 6q deletion as it is distal to reported deletion breakpoints (6q13, 6q15 and 6q21).

P16 (CDKN2A) Deletion* Deletions of chromosome 9p21 are implicated in a wide variety of tumours including approximately 10% of paediatric ALL patients1, though the incidence is higher in T-ALL2. The region has been the subject of much study but deletion of the potential tumour suppressor gene P16 (Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A)) was found to take place in 90% of newly diagnosed cases of paediatric ALL showing cytogenetic deletions of 9p21 by FISH3. This study showed that deletion of P16 only (rather than both P16 (CDKN2A) and P15 (CDKN2B)) was the critical step as one case was found to be deleted for P16 but P15 was present. The deletion is usually homozygous (81% compared to 9% hemizygous) in cases of T-ALL whilst homozygous and hemizygous deletions are roughly equal in B-ALL (23% vs. 20% for homozygous and hemizygous respectively).

The gene product inhibits the Cyclin Dependent Kinases CDK4 and CDK6, which are important in controlling cell cycle progression from G1 to S phase4. Disruptions of this process are therefore likely to result in the proliferation of mutated cells.

P53 (TP53) Deletion* Although previously difficult to detect, the advent of FISH analysis of interphase cells from patients with B-CLL showed that around 17% of patients with the disease have deletions of the P53 (TP53) gene1. As with ATM, deletions of P53 have important therapeutic implications for patients with B-CLL2. Knowledge of the P53 deletion status in the patient should mediate the choice of therapy. P53 is a tumour suppressor gene and its protein product is responsible for the death of cells that contain damaged DNA. This is thought to be brought about by phosphorylation of P53 and the subsequent prevention of its repression by MDM2 (Mouse Double Minute 2 Homolog). This phosphorylation is mediated by ATM. In the absence of P53 activity, cells that cannot be repaired by ATM will continue to proliferate in their damaged state. Patients deleted for P53 may be rendered resistant to alkylating chemotherapeutic agents3 and purine analogues4 as these are designed to damage DNA in the cells that P53 would have destroyed. In the absence of P53, therefore, patients treated with these agents will harbour a proliferating population of damaged cells.

PDGFRB Breakapart Some cases of Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukaemia (CMML) have constitutive activation of the gene for PDGFRB (platelet derived growth factor receptor beta) which encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase1. The activation is usually caused by a t(5;12)(q32;p13) translocation which results in the ETV6 (TEL)-PDGFRB fusion gene. Patients with this fusion have reportedly been shown to be responsive to the drug imatinib mesylate (Gleevec)1, which specifically inhibits the kinase activity of PDGFRB. The breakpoint in PDGFRB is characteristically located in intron 102,3.

PML-RARA also activates components of the WNT signalling pathway, promoting stem cell renewal. Immediate treatment of PML/RARA positive patients is critical as intravascular coagulation causes early death in 10-40% of cases2.

RARα (RARA) Breakapart Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia (APL) is associated with chromosomal rearrangements involving the retinoic acid receptor α (RARA) gene, on chromosome 17q21.1-q21.2, and various partner genes situated on different chromosomes2. In the vast majority of APL cases, the RARA gene fuses with the Promyelocytic Leukaemia (PML) gene located on chromosome 15q24, as a result of a t(15;17) translocation, but RARA fusions with Promyelocytic Leukemia Zinc Finger (PLZF (now known as ZBTB16), 11q23.2), Nucleophosmin (NPM1, 5q35.1), Nuclear Mitotic Apparatus protein 1 (NUMA1, 11q13.4), Myeloid/lymphoid or Mixed Lineage Leukaemia (MLL (KMT2A), 11q23.3) and FIP1-like-1 (FIP1L1, 4q12) genes have also been described1,2,3. The RARAα (RARA) Breakapart probe will detect rearrangements of the RARA gene, irrespective of partner genes or chromosomes involved.

TCL1 Breakapart Dysregulation of normal transcription is a feature of all acute leukaemias. In T-cell neoplasms, this is brought about by altered expression of normal transcription factor proteins, often as a consequence of chromosomal translocations or inversions placing these genes into close proximity of the promoter and enhancer elements of the T-cell receptor genes, TRA@ (TCRA), TRB@ (TCRB), TRG@ (TCRG) and TRD@ (TCRD)1,2. In T-PLL (a form of mature T-cell proliferation in patients with Ataxia Telangiectasia (AT)3), the (T-cell Leukaemia 1A/1B) gene cluster on chromosome 14q32 has been shown to be involved in a number of different chromosomal rearrangements, including the t(14;14)(q11;q32) and inv(14)(q11;q32), which bring elements of the cluster into close juxtaposition to, and under the control of, the TCR gene promoters and enhancers. There are two breakpoint regions in the gene cluster, each of which are observed in different neoplasms, though both are involved in either the inv(14) or t(14;14). Breakpoints are concentrated in regions centromeric and telomeric to the TCL1A, TCL6 and TCL1B genes4.

TCRAD Breakapart Dysregulation of normal transcription is a feature of all types of acute leukaemia. In T-ALL, this is brought about by altered expression of normal transcription factor proteins, which is in contrast with AML and B-ALL, where chimaeric proteins are expressed and provide the drivers for the malignancy.
ALL
T-ALL composes around 12-15% of childhood ALL1. In about 30% of these cases, chromosomal rearrangements involving the T-cell receptor genes TRA@ (TCRA), TRB@ (TCRB), TRG@ (TCRG) and TRD@ (TCRD) have been described2. It has been suggested that a number of developmentally important transcription factor genes are dysregulated as a result of being brought into close proximity with the promoter and enhancer elements of one of these T-cell receptor genes3. These can be more clearly demonstrated by FISH than by using conventional cytogenetics4.

The TCRAD complex, on chromosome 14q11.2 has been shown to be involved in a number of different translocations in T-ALL. These include the t(10;14)(q24;q11) involving TLX1 (HOX11); the t(1;14)(p32;q11) involving TAL1; the t(11;14)(p15;q11) involving LMO1 and the t(11;14)(p13;q11) involving LMO2. The relative frequencies for these rearrangements in children have been estimated to be 7, 3, 2 and 3% respectively5.

TEL/AML1 (ETV6/RUNX1) Translocation, Dual Fusion The TEL (or ETV6 - Erythroblastosis Variant Gene 6 translocation, ETS) / AML1 (or RUNX1 - Runt-Related Transcription Factor 1) fusion is brought about by the cytogenetically invisible t(12;21) translocation. This is the most common rearrangement in childhood B-ALL and has been detected using FISH in around 17% of cases1, compared to a pick-up rate of 0.05% by conventional cytogenetics2. The translocation is associated with a favourable outcome and has been associated with late relapse3. TEL has also been shown to be deleted in some children with ALL with loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosome 12p12-13 and this deletion is often associated with a TEL/AML1 translocation4. Both the TEL and AML1 genes encode transcription factors and TEL has been shown to be required for proper transcription during haematopoiesis within the bone marrow5.

TLX1 Breakapart Dysregulation of normal transcription is a feature of all acute leukaemias. In T-cell neoplasms, this is brought about by altered expression of normal transcription factor proteins, often as a consequence of chromosomal translocations or inversions placing these genes into close proximity of the promoter and enhancer elements of the T-cell receptor genes, TRA@ (TCRA), TRB@ (TCRB), TRG@ (TCRG) and TRD@ (TCRD)1. Murine studies show that expression of mouse homologues of TLX1 (T-Cell Leukaemia Homeobox 1 or HOX11) can immortalise haematopoietic cells in vitro as the first of a potential two-hit mechanism leading to full malignancy2. This work suggests that TLX1, which is aberrantly expressed in 30% of adult and 5-10% of childhood T-ALL cases3, is an oncogene that can become dysregulated through the translocations t(10;14)(q24;q11) and t(7;10)(q35;q24), placing it into close proximity to TCRA/D and TCRB elements respectively4. Breakpoints are clustered within a region 10kb centromeric to and immediately adjacent to TLX1.

TLX3 Breakapart In common with other factors involved in T-ALL, the normal expression of TLX3 (T-Cell Leukaemia Homeobox 3, previously known as HOX11L2) can be disrupted by a chromosomal translocation1. Unlike TLX1 (HOX11), however, the dysregulation of TLX3 is not brought about by close juxtaposition with T-cell receptor genes, instead, it is brought into contact with another gene which is highly expressed in normal T-cell differentiation, BCL11B (B-Cell Lymphoma 11B, or CTIP2) on chromosome 14q32.11. The translocation t(5;14)(q35;q32) is generally cryptic and the breakpoint does not actually disrupt TLX3 but, in the majority of cases, occurs within or downstream of the RANBP17 (Ran-Binding Protein 17) gene2. However, this gene is very close to TLX3 and though RANBP17 expression is not affected by the translocation, TLX3 expression is. Dysregulated expression of TLX3 is observed in around 20% of paediatric cases and around 13% of adult T-ALL patients3,4.

Multiprobe Haematology As long ago as the 19th Century, nuclear changes were recognised as being significant in cancer biology. Advances in cytogenetics and molecular cytogenetics in the last century showed that although a number of numerical and structural chromosome changes appeared to be random and non-specific, rearrangements involving individual chromosomes were shown to define specific abnormalities in individual tumour types. Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation (FISH), using locus-specific probes that are capable of defining these stereotypic structural rearrangements, has now become a routine diagnostic test in the clinical laboratory and the technique has thus been shown to be useful in the management of cancer patients. The Chromoprobe Multiprobe速 haematology devices are designed for use on interphase nuclei and metaphase chromosomes from cultured peripheral blood cells or cultured bone marrow samples.

Multiprobe Haematology
Multiprobe Overview The Chromoprobe Multiprobe® System is an extension of Cytocell's proprietary Chromoprobe® technology, whereby DNA FISH probes are reversibly bound to the surface of a glass device. These probes dissolve back into solution once in contact with the supplied hybridisation buffer, whilst denaturation of the probes and target DNA occurs simultaneously under the device once heated. This approach not only simplifies the whole FISH procedure but also renders it safer and quicker to use. This system allows multiple FISH probes to be hybridised on the same slide in a spatially separated manner allowing rapid screening of a patient sample for a number of different DNA sequences in a single FISH analysis. The assay is supplied in a kit format of 2, 5 or 10 devices and includes hybridisation solution, DAPI counterstain, template slides, a hybridisation chamber and full instructions for use. The kit even contains a unique liquid crystal display slide surface thermometer for accurate temperature measurement of the denaturation surface.
The procedure is simple:
2
1
Spot 2µl (or 4µl for an 8 square device) of cell sample onto alternate squares of the supplied slide.
Soak the slides in 100% methanol, then polish dry with a lint free cloth.
7
6
Carefully lower spotted slide onto the device.
4
3
Check the temperature of the hotplate using the slide surface thermometer provided. Denature the slide/device at 75°C for 2 minutes.
Once dry, fill in the remaining squares with the cell sample and check using phase contrast.
8
Place slides in 2xSSC for 2 minutes and then dehydrate through an ethanol series.
9
Place slide/device in hybridisation chamber supplied and float on the surface of a clean 37°C waterbath overnight.
Wash in 0.4xSSC at 72°C for 2 minutes, then 2xSSC/0.05% Tween at room temperature for 30 seconds.
5
Spot 1µl (or 2µl for an 8 square device) of supplied hybridisation solution onto each square of the device.
10
Apply DAPI counterstain provided and view under a fluorescence microscope.

Chromoprobe Multiprobe速 ALL cMYC (MYC) Breakapart
P16 (CDKN2A) Deletion
Translocations involving the cMYC (MYC) oncogene are a molecular feature of Burkitt Lymphoma (former FAB L3 subtype ALL) and occur in almost every case. These rearrangements can also be found very rarely (approximately 0.1% of cases) in paediatric ALL with the precursor B-cell phenotype.
Deletions of chromosome 9p21 are implicated in a wide variety of tumours including approximately 10% of paediatric ALL patients, though the incidence is higher in T-ALL. 90% of patients with a deletion in 9p21 are deleted for P16.
TEL/AML1 (ETV6/RUNX1) Translocation, Dual Fusion
MLL (KMT2A) Breakapart
This is the most common rearrangement in childhood B-ALL and has been detected using FISH in around 17% of cases, compared to a pick-up rate of 0.05% by conventional cytogenetics. The translocation is associated with a favourable outcome and has been associated with late relapse.
1
Rearrangement of the MLL (KMT2A) gene on chromosome 11q23.3 can be detected in the leukaemic cells of approximately 85% of infants with B-ALL. Translocations involving the MLL gene are generally associated with increased risk of treatment failure.

E2A (TCF3) Breakapart
Hyperdiploidy
Translocations involving the E2A (TCF3) gene are relatively common in childhood B-ALL, specifically B-cell precursor ALL, with the t(1;19) being the most common. Detection of the t(1;19) is best carried out using molecular methods, such as FISH, as this and other E2A translocations have been shown to be cytogenetically cryptic.
Approximately 30% of childhood ALL cases have cells exhibiting a chromosome number between 51 and 67. Within this group are prognostically significant subsets, with individuals possessing 51 to 55 chromosomes having a poorer prognosis than those with 56 to 67. The chromosomes that are more readily hyperdiploid are chromosomes 4, 6, 10, 14, 17, 18, 21 and X, with gains of chromosomes 4, 10 and 17 leading to a relatively better prognosis.
BCR/ABL(ABL1) Translocation, Dual Fusion
IGH Breakapart
The stereotypical Philadelphia chromosome forming translocation, t(9;22), represents a significant abnormality in ALL and is associated with an extremely poor outcome. In a small number of cases, the translocation does not result in a cytogenetically visible Philadelphia chromosome. In these cases, FISH is essential for highlighting the fusion gene.
In ALL, IGH is involved in rearrangements with a number of different partner chromosomes. In T-ALL associated with Ataxia Telangiectasia (AT), for example, IGH is observed in the t(14;14)(q11;q32) translocation. This abnormality also, very rarely, occurs in B-ALL. The IGH Breakapart probe allows the detection of rearrangements, regardless of the partner gene/chromosome involved.

Chromoprobe Multiprobe速 CLL MYB Deletion
Chromosome 12 Enumeration
Deletions of chromosome 6q are found in B-CLL, with breakpoints being reported in bands 6q13, q15 and q21. The MYB gene is located in band 6q23.3 and is provided as a marker for 6q deletion as it is distal to the reported deletion breakpoints.
The chromosome 12 probe on the CLL Panel is a repeat sequence probe, labelled in red, which recognises the centromeric repeat sequence D12Z3. This probe will allow detection of trisomy 12, a recurrent abnormality in CLL.
IGH Breakapart
P53 (TP53) Deletion
Around 20% of cytogenetically abnormal CLL patients have a detectable 14q+ marker chromosome. The markers are derived from reciprocal translocations involving a number of fusion partners from different chromosomes that fuse with the IGH gene at 14q32.33. The two most common translocations are IGH/BCL2, caused by the t(14;18) translocation, and IGH/CCND1, a result of the t(11;14) translocation.
Along with ATM, P53 (TP53) deletions are the most serious aberrations in CLL. Since the interaction between ATM and P53 during apoptosis of damaged cells is disrupted by deletion of one or other of these genes, damaged cells can proliferate in the patient unchecked, leading to a poor prognosis. Knowledge of the P53 deletion status in patients should mediate their choice of therapy as those deleted for P53 may be rendered resistant to alkylating chemotherapeutic agents and purine analogues.

P53 Deletion
IGH/BCL2 Translocation, Dual Fusion
Deletions of ATM (and P53) are the most serious aberrations involved in B-CLL. The two genes have an important interaction in checkpoint control of patients with the disease. In the absence of ATM, damaged cells are allowed to escape P53-mediated apoptosis and proliferate, leading to poor prognosis for the patient.
This is the second most common rearrangement of IGH in CLL. The translocation (t(14;18)(q32.33;q21.33)) results in the BCL2 gene coming under the regulatory control of those processes normally involved in maintenance of IGH gene activity. The BCL2 gene has been shown to be involved in the regulation of apoptosis.
IGH/CCND1 Translocation, Dual Fusion
13q14.3 Deletion
The IGH/CCND1 probe, for the detection of t(11;14), has been recommended by the British Committee for Standards in Haematology to enable atypical B-CLL patients to be distinguished from possible Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) patients.
Deletions affecting 13q14 are the most frequent genetic abnormalities in B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (B-CLL). This region is found to be heterozygously deleted in 30-60% and homozygously deleted in 10-20% of CLL patients.

Chromoprobe Multiprobe® AML/MDS Del(5q) Deletion Deletion of a region of 5q is the most common rearrangement in AML and MDS. The common deleted region (CDR) is within 5q31.1, which includes the EGR1 gene. Loss of this gene has been implicated in tumourigenesis.
PML/RARα(RARA) Translocation, Dual Fusion The fusion gene PML/RARA is created by the t(15;17)(q24.1;q21.2) translocation, found in 98% of AML M3 Acute hypergranular promyelocytic leukaemia and 9% of AML overall. Immediate treatment of PML/RARA positive patients is critical as intravascular coagulation causes early death in 10-40% of cases. 80-90% of treated patients achieve complete remission.
MLL (KMT2A) Breakapart
Del(7q) Deletion
Translocations involving the MLL (11q23) gene are generally associated with increased risk for treatment failure, and are found in 3% of de novo and 10% of therapy related cases of AML. The MLL gene is necessary to maintain HOX gene expression, which is an important gene involved in development.
Abnormalities of chromosome 7 are very common in myeloid malignancies, such as adult and paediatric MDS and treatment related AML/MDS. Studies of myeloid disorders involving -7/del(7q) have found that signalling pathways involving RAS proteins are affected.

AML1/ETO (RUNX1/RUNX1T1) Translocation, Dual Fusion AML1 (or RUNX1 - Runt related Transcription Factor 1) is fused with ETO (or RUNX1T1) in the t(8;21)(q21;q22) translocation, found most commonly in AML M2 patients and less frequently in subgroups M1 and M4. Overall 7% of AML cases demonstrate the abnormality, the majority of which are de novo.
CBFβ/MYH11 Translocation, Dual Fusion
Del(20q) Deletion
The fusion gene CBFß(CBFB)/MYH11, created by the inversion inv(16)(p13.11q22.1), is found in 20% of AML M4 cases and abnormalities involving 16q22 are seen in 5-10% of AML overall. Frequently, Central Nervous System (CNS) involvement develops, particularly in relapse. However, the complete remission rate is high and the prognosis is better than most of the AML associated abnormalities.
Deletions of the long arm of chromosome 20 are a common chromosomal abnormality associated with myeloid malignancies, including AML. The prognosis for MDS cases where del(20q) is the sole abnormality is good. However if secondary abnormalities are present, a poor outcome is indicated. AML patients respond poorly to treatment and have reduced survival rates.

Haematopathology The assessment of genetic changes in tissue biopsies can provide important information for prediction of tumour progression. The majority of these changes are either amplifications, deletions or other chromosomal rearrangements that can be detected using FISH. Current methodologies, namely immunohistochemistry or Southern blotting can provide information at the gene expression level but, when carried out on tissue sections (either cryostat or paraffin embedded), FISH can provide information at the DNA level, in situ, at the precise site within the tumour. This can reveal cell-to-cell heterogeneity and enable the detection of small clones of genetically distinct cells. This analysis can be made even more efficient through the use of automated image analysis systems and software.

BCL2 Breakapart HaematoPathology
The B-cell CLL/Lymphoma 2 (BCL2) gene located at 18q21.33 encodes one of a large protein family that regulates and contributes to programmed cell death, or apoptosis, by controlling mitochondrial membrane permeability1. Translocations of the BCL2 gene result in constant expression of the BCL2 protein. BCL2 usually translocates to the immunoglobulin (IG) heavy chain (IGH) gene via a t(14;18)(q32;q21.3) and rarely to IG light chain (IGK or IGL) loci via t(2;18)(p11;q21.3) or t(18;22)(q21.3;q11)2. The translocation (t(14;18)(q32.33;q21.33)) is thought to be brought about by an error in the joining function of the IGH gene, mediated by the observation that both IGH and BCL2 are arranged next to each other in 3D space in normal B lymphocytes3. The translocation breakpoint at the end of the Joining (J) segment, and the subsequent fusion of the BCL2 gene to this region, results in the BCL2 gene coming under the regulatory control of those processes normally involved in maintenance of IGH gene activity4.

CCND1 Breakapart
Cyclins function as regulators of cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs). CCND1 forms a complex with, and functions as a regulatory subunit of, CDK4 or CDK8, whose activity is required for the G1/S transition through the cell cycle1. The translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) between CCND1 and Immunoglobulin Heavy chain (IGH) has been described as the molecular hallmark for Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)2,5, a subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, and results in overexpression of cyclin D1. This translocation is estimated to occur in 53-93% of MCL cases3 and has also been implicated in 10-25% of Multiple Myeloma patients with abnormal cytogenetics4.
HaematoPathology
The Cyclin D1 (CCND1) gene located at 11q13.3 encodes a protein that belongs to the highly conserved cyclin family. Mutations, amplifications and overexpression of this gene, which alters cell cycle progression, are observed frequently in a variety of tumours and may contribute to tumourigenesis1.

IGH Breakapart*
HaematoPathology
Rearrangements involving the IGH gene have been identified in numerous different tumour types. There are a number of stereotypical translocations involved in each of the diseases and more are being described regularly. The t(8;14)(q24;q32), involving IGH and the MYC gene, is the most common rearrangement in Burkitt's lymphoma and occurs in around 85% of cases1. IGH rearrangements have also been noted in 50% of non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomas (NHLs) and have been correlated to clinically relevant subgroups2. One study showed that the t(14;18)(q32;q21) (IGH-BCL2) was found in 88.1% of follicular lymphomas and the t(11;14)(q13;q32) (IGH-CCND1) in 85.7% of mantle cell lymphomas2. IGH rearrangements were also identified in 52.5% of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL)1.

IGH is commonly rearranged in lymphomas and has many different translocation partners. We have, therefore, designed a split probe set for IGH, which allows the detection of rearrangements of the IGH gene, regardless of partner gene or chromosome involved.

IGH/BCL2 Translocation, Dual Fusion*
The translocation is thought to be brought about by an error in the joining function of the IGH gene, mediated by the recent observation that both IGH and BCL2 are arranged next to each other in 3D space in the normal B lymphocytes2. The translocation breakpoint at the end of the Joining (J) segment, and the subsequent fusion of the BCL2 gene to this region, results in the BCL2 gene coming under the regulatory control of those processes normally involved in maintenance of IGH gene activity3. The BCL2 gene itself has been shown to be involved in the regulation of apoptosis4.
HaematoPathology
The IGH/BCL2 fusion gene is brought about by a t(14;18)(q32;q21) translocation and is found in over 88% of follicular lymphoma cases1,2.

IGH/CCND1 Translocation, Dual Fusion* HaematoPathology
Although translocations involving IGH and CCND1 (BCL1) were initially reported in B-CLL patients, the rearrangement is now considered to be a hallmark of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Reciprocal translocations involving the IGH and CCND1 (previously known as BCL1) loci, t(11;14)(q13;q32), were frequently reported in B-CLL patients1. The involvement of the CCND1 (Cyclin D1) gene was initially reported from a cloning study looking at the breakpoints of the translocation. However, it is likely that the initial diagnosis on the samples used for the study should have been MCL. The IGH/CCND1 probe for detection of t(11;14) has been recommended by the British Committee for Standards in Haematology to enable atypical B-CLL patients to be distinguished from possible MCL patients2.

IGH/MALT1 Translocation, Dual Fusion
Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue is listed as a distinct clinicopathologic entity. MALT lymphomas comprise 7.6% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma's (NHLs) and represents 1 of the 6 most common NHLs2. MALT lymphomas are characterised by a proliferation of neoplastic marginal zone-related cells that invade the epithelial structures to generate lymphoepithelial lesions and colonise reactive lymphoid follicles3. t(14;18)/IGH-MALT1positive MALT lymphomas originate in sites such as the liver, skin, ocular adnexa, or salivary glands1. The molecular characteristics of the t(14;18) resemble those found in the t(14;18)/IGH-BCL2 (follicular lymphoma) and t(11;14)/MALT1-IGH (mantle cell lymphoma), suggesting that these translocations could be generated by common pathomechanisms involving illegitimate V(D)J-mediated recombination of IGH as well as non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or alternative NHEJ repair pathways1.
HaematoPathology
The t(14;18)(q32;q21) involving the Immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (IGH) at 14q32 and the Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma Translocation gene 1 (MALT1) at 18q21 is a recurrent abnormality in MALT lymphoma1.

IGH/MYC Translocation, Dual Fusion* HaematoPathology
The cMYC/IGH translocation, t(8;14)(q24;q32), and the variant forms t(2;8)(p13;q24) and t(8;22)(q24;q11) are found in Burkitt's lymphoma and mature B-cell or Burkitt's type Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL)1. The t(8;14) is the most common and is found in approximately 85% of patients with Burkitt's lymphoma2. While translocation breakpoints on chromosome 14 are clustered to a narrow region 5' to the intron enhancer of the immunoglobulin heavy chain, the breakpoints on chromosome 8 can occur more than 340kb upstream of MYC, with no preferential site3. The translocation brings MYC into close proximity to the IgH enhancer and results in the up-regulation of MYC4. Over expression of the transcription factor stimulates gene amplification resulting in uncontrolled cell proliferation, which usually occurs in the late event of tumour progression5.

IGK Breakapart* Translocations involving the immunoglobulin loci are recurring events in various subtypes of B-cell lymphomas.
Translocations involving the IG light chain loci usually lead to breakage within the joining region of the respective locus2. IGK has a largely duplicated structure with duplicate gene regions being 96-100% identical. The IGK proximal copy is present in a 542kb contig with 22 potentially functional variable (IGKV) gene segments and 18 pseudogenes plus five joining (J)- segments and one IGK constant (IGKC) gene segment. The distal copy is a 433kb contig with 21 potentially functional IGKV gene segments and 15 pseudogenes. The two contigs are separated by a DNA sequence of 800kb without any IGKV segments1.
HaematoPathology
In addition to translocations involving the IGH locus, variant translocations have been described in 5-10% of B-cell neoplasms involving either the immunoglobulin kappa (IGK) light chain locus at 2p11.2 or the lambda light chain (IGL) at 22q111,2. The best known translocations involving IG light chain loci are the variant Burkitt's translocations t(2;8)(p12;q24) and t(8;22)(q24;q11) present in up to 21% of all Burkitt's lymphomas3. Other translocations involve the BCL6 oncogene: the t(2;3)(p12;q27) and t(3;22)(q27;q11) and BCL2 locus: t(2;18)(p12;q21) and t(18;22)(q21;q11)5.

MYC Breakapart*
The majority of rearrangements result in the juxtaposition of MYC to IGH, IGL or IGK in the t(8;14), t(8;22) or t(2;8) respectively. In each case, this results in dysregulation of MYC (as a result of being close to the constitutively active immunoglobulin locus), increased transcription and neoplastic growth2. The breakpoints involved are widely scattered throughout the gene but the t(8;14) translocation always spares the protein coding exons which become attached to the derived 14. In the t(2;8) and t(8;22), MYC remains on chromosome 8 and the immunoglobulin locus joins it, resulting in close positioning of the MYC and immunoglobulin loci. Rare cases of translocations not involving immunoglobulin partners have also been reported3.
HaematoPathology
Translocations involving the MYC (cMYC) oncogene (Avian Myelocytomatosis Viral Oncogene Homologue) are a molecular feature of Burkitt lymphoma and occur in almost every case. These rearrangements can also be found in 5 to 10% of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)1.

Patients with MYC rearrangements, in isolation of a confirmed diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma, were originally thought to have poor prognoses but they do respond well to intensive chemotherapy affording them an increased survival rate. This shows that cytogenetic confirmation of the rearrangement is necessary to manage the patient effectively4.

P16 (CDKN2A) Deletion*
HaematoPathology
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent form of aggressive lymphoma and deletions of the P16 (now known as CDKN2A) locus occur in approximately one-third of DLBCL patients1. The CDKN2A gene encodes a cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor that functions in the control of phosphorylation of Retinoblastoma (RB), a protein that is frequently hypermethylated in lymphomas2. There are two proteins produced by the CDKN2A gene, P16 and P14ARF, the latter being an alternate reading frame product. These protein products have been linked to two tumour suppressor pathways, the RB pathway and the p53 pathway. P16 inhibits phosphorylation of RB, whereas P14ARF targets MDM2, a P53 inhibitory protein, for degradation. A deletion of the CDKN2A gene would therefore disturb both pathways3.

P53 (TP53) Deletion*
Knowledge of the P53 deletion status in the patient should mediate the choice of therapy3. P53 is a tumour suppressor gene and its protein product is responsible for the death of cells that contain damaged DNA. This is thought to be brought about by phosphorylation of P53 and the subsequent prevention of its repression by MDM2 (Mouse Double Minute 2 Homolog). This phosphorylation is mediated by ATM. In the absence of P53 activity, cells that cannot be repaired by ATM will continue to proliferate in their damaged state. Patients deleted for P53 may be rendered resistant to alkylating chemotherapeutic agents3 and purine analogues4 as these are designed to damage DNA in the cells that P53 would have destroyed. In the absence of P53, therefore, patients treated with these agents will harbour a proliferating population of damaged cells.
HaematoPathology
Although previously difficult to detect, the advent of FISH analysis of interphase cells from patients with B-CLL showed that around 17% of patients with the disease have deletions of the P53 (TP53) gene1. As with ATM, deletions of P53 have important therapeutic implications for patients with B-CLL2.

Pathology The assessment of genetic changes in tissue biopsies can provide important information for prediction of tumour progression. The majority of these changes are either amplifications, deletions or other chromosomal rearrangements that can be detected using FISH. Current methodologies, namely immunohistochemistry or Southern blotting, can provide information at the gene expression level but, when carried out on tissue sections (either cryostat or paraffin embedded), FISH can provide information at the DNA level, in situ, at the precise site within the tumour. This can reveal cell-to-cell heterogeneity and enable the detection of small clones of genetically distinct cells. This analysis can be made even more efficient through the use of automated image analysis systems and software.

ALK Breakapart Transforming rearrangements of the Anaplastic Lymphoma Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (ALK) gene at 2p23 have been recognised in a subset of human haematological and solid malignancies1.
Pathology
ALK fuses with Nucleophosmin (NPM1) in anaplastic lymphoma, resulting in constitutive kinase activity, which inhibits apoptosis and promotes cellular proliferation2. The rearrangement of ALK has now also been implicated in the development of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) as a result of an inversion involving chromosome 2, inv(2)(p21p23), causing ALK to fuse with the EML4 gene2. The ALK gene is frequently involved in translocations of chromosome 2 that lead to gene fusions in a variety of different malignancies, including neuroblastomas and myofibroblastic tumours3.

The TLS-CHOP (FUS-DDIT3) t(12;16)(q13.3;p11) fusion gene, firstly described by Turc-Carel et al. in 19862, is now well established and is present in at least 95% of MLS3. In rare cases, an EWS-CHOP (EWSR1-DDIT3) t(12;22)(q13;q12) translocation has been described4. The transcription factor gene, CHOP (DDIT3) (CREBP-homologous protein/DNA damage inducible transcript 3), is a negative regulator of adipocyte differentiation5. RefeRenCes 1.

C-MET (MET) Amplification The C-MET (MET - Mesenchymal-Epithelial Transition factor) encodes a transmembrane tyrosine kinase1, which is an oncoprotein. The MET gene regulates both cell motility and cell growth2, so normal C-MET expression allows stem cells and progenitor cells to grow invasively. This invasive growth is required to generate new tissues in an embryo, or in an adult in regenerating tissue, such as the liver, or during wound repair3.
Pathology
MET has been shown to be overexpressed in many tumours including ovarian4, breast5, lung6, thyroid7, stomach8, pancreatic9,10 and colon11,12. This overexpression correlates with a poor prognosis4,13,14. In breast cancers, MET was only shown to be co-expressed with HER2 (ERBB2) in 50% of patients, indicating that it has a significant impact on tumour aggressiveness independently of HER213.

EGFR Amplification The EGFR (previously known as HER1), Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor, gene on chromosome band 7p11.2, is a type 1 tyrosine kinase receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family. Binding of the EGFR and epidermal growth factor proteins leads to cell proliferation1.
There are three small molecule EGFR kinase inhibitor drugs in clinical use (gefitinib, erlotinib and lapatinib) and several others that are currently undergoing clinical development4. Approximately 10% of lung cancer patients show a rapid and dramatic response to these Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs)5,6. FISH has proven to be useful for determining the amplification status of EGFR in NSCLC and has therefore aided in the selection of patients for treatment with EGFR TKIs7.
Pathology
Abnormally elevated EGFR kinase activity can lead to proliferative diseases such as non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), which accounts for 80-85% of all lung cancers2, and less frequently breast cancer3, amongst others. RefeRenCes 1.

EML4 Breakapart The protein encoded by the Echinoderm Microtubule Associated Protein-like 4 (EML4) gene is involved in microtubule formation and stabilisation1. A novel gene fusion of EML4 and Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) was recently identified in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The EML4-ALK fusion was shown to result from an inversion within chromosome 2p, inv(2)(p21p23), and was detected in approximately 7% of NSCLC cases2,3. Pathology

FGFR1 Breakapart/Amplification Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1 (FGFR1), located on chromosome 8, was the first gene to be shown to be amplified in some breast cancers1 and is also translocated in some patients with 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome2.
Pathology
Amplification of the gene is thought to be the causative factor in around 10% of breast tumours3 and has been shown to provide a poor prognosis to patients as over-expression of the gene product can lead to early relapse4. In common with other genetic defects in lymphoproliferative disorders, like the BCR/ABL translocation in CML, the FGFR1 gene contains sequences that could code for a putative tyrosine kinase protein5,6, which has been implicated in myeloproliferative syndrome (also known as EMS or Stem cell leukaemia/lymphoma syndrome, SCLL), marking out the importance of this gene in both solid tumours and cancers of the blood. There are at least eight partner genes involved with FGFR1 translocations, including ZNF198 (the most common7), FOP, CEP110, BCR, HERV-K, FGFR10P2, TIF1 and MYO18A8. Cytocell has developed a three-colour combined breakapart and amplification FISH probe for FGFR1 that can be used in either bone marrow samples from myeloproliferative syndrome (EMS) patients or tissue sections from patients where gene amplification may be suspected. In EMS, the breakapart strategy will show the split of one of the two fusion signals along with a blue centromere to enumerate chromosome 8. In patients that are being tested for amplifications of FGFR1, the non-translocated FGFR1 FISH probe will appear as a fusion signal and this will appear amplified. The chromosome 8 centromere probe will also act as a control probe in these cases.

MALT1 Breakapart Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBCL) of the Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) type is characterised by two main translocations involving MALT1; t(11;18)(q21;q21.32) and t(14;18)(q32;q21.32)1. Other MALT1 associated translocations are rare1.
Pathology
However, there are no MALT1 translocations in nodal or splenic lymphomas1. The t(11;18) BIRC3 (Baculoviral IAP repeat containing 3 protein2,3)/MALT1 translocation is present in 18-33% of cases of MALT lymphoma2 and the resulting fusion protein induces NF-ÎşB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B-cells), resulting in transcriptional activation3. 18% of MALT lymphomas harbour the t(14;18) MALT1/IGH translocation4. The genetic abnormalities in MALT lymphomas reflect their site of origin. The t(14;18) translocation was most frequently found in MALT1 lymphomas of the parotid gland, liver, skin, and ocular adnexa - sites rare for the t(11;18). However, the pulmonary and gastrointestinal MALT lymphomas show high frequencies of t(11;18) and absence of the t(14;18)1,4.

MDM2 Amplification The MDM2 gene, located at 12q15, when overexpressed, enhances the tumourigenic potential of cells. The oncogene product forms a tight complex with the p53 tumour suppressor protein and can inhibit p53 mediated transactivation, leading to escape from p53 regulated growth control1. The Murine Double Minute 2 (MDM2) gene has been shown to be amplified in around 7% of human tumours2.
Pathology
Many tumours overexpress MDM2, the most common being soft tissue tumours (20%), osteosarcomas (16%) and oesophageal carcinomas (13%)3. The use of FISH in well differentiated liposarcoma has been a valuable diagnostic tool4,5, whilst small-molecule MDM2 inhibitors that could act as innovative therapeutic tools have also been identified6.

N-MYC (MYCN) Amplification The proto-oncogene N-MYC (MYCN), located on chromosome 2 at 2p24.3, is a transcription factor that plays a role in regulation of cell growth and proliferation.
Pathology
It is mainly expressed in the developing nervous system and is critical during neural crest embryogenesis. Myelocytomatosis viral homologue (MYCN) becomes rapidly down-regulated as tissues become terminally differentiated and growth-arrested1. Over-expression of MYCN seems to block differentiation and increase cell proliferation. MYCN amplification is the most important unfavourable prognostic factor for neuroblastoma and is amplified in 25% of cases2. Neuroblastoma is a dominating group of neuron tumours and is one of the most common solid tumours in children3.

PAX3 and PAX7 Breakapart Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma in children. One of the primary histological subtypes is the alveolar RMS (ARMS)1.
In ARMS cases that are negative for translocations involving FOXO1, there are two other variant PAX3 translocations that could be present - t(X;2)(q13;q36.1) PAX3-FOXO44 and t(2;2)(q36.1;p23) PAX3-NCOA15.
PAX3
PAX7 Breakapart
Pathology
The majority (55%) of ARMS are associated with the t(2;13)(q36.1;q14) translocation, and less commonly (22%) with t(1;13)(p36;q14), leading to the fusion of transcription factor FOXO1 (Forkhead Box protein 1) to the transcription factors PAX3 (Paired Box protein 3) and PAX7, respectively2. The distinction between the t(1;13) and t(2;13) in ARMS is important as patients with the t(2;13) have a more adverse outcome than those with the t(1;13)3.

RB1 Deletion Retinoblastoma (Rb) is a cancer of immature retina cells that occurs in infants and small children1. The protein encoded by the 180kb Retinoblastoma 1 (RB1) tumour suppressor gene, located on 13q14.2, may form complexes with oncoproteins and block their tumourigenic activity2. Deletion of this gene, particularly homozygous deletion, is therefore a causal event in the development of retinoblastoma.
Pathology
The RB1 gene also plays a role in secondary tumours arising in retinoblastoma patients, such as osteosarcoma and some soft tissue sarcomas3. The RB1 gene may also be deleted as a result of a progressional tumourigenic event in some leukaemias4, as well as in some breast, lung, bladder, oesophagus and prostate cancers5.

ROS1 Breakapart The receptor tyrosine kinase c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1) is an orphan receptor tyrosine kinase of the insulin receptor family and is located at 6q221. ROS1 consists of a large extracellular domain that is composed of six fibronectin repeats, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular kinase domain. While the function of ROS1 is undefined, it has been shown to play an important role in the differentiation of epididymal epithelium2.
ROS1 rearrangements with the fusion partner GOPC (golgi-associated PDZ and coiled-coil motif containing) have also been implicated in Glioblastoma and Cholangiocarcinoma5,7. ROS1 Fusions activate the pSTAT3, PI3K/AKT/mTOR and the SHP-2 phosphatase pathways8,9.
Pathology
ROS1 rearrangements have been reported to define a molecular subset of Non Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)3. Rearrangements of ROS1 with fusion partners SLC34A2 (solute carrier family 34 (sodium phosphate), member 2)4 and CD74 (Cluster of Differentiation 74), have been shown to occur in less than 2% of patients with NSCLC3. Patients harbouring ROS1 rearrangement have been shown to respond to treatment with ALK/MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as Xalkori速 (crizotinib)5,6.

SRD (CHD5) Deletion The 1p36 region is frequently deleted in a broad range of human cancers1.
Pathology
The Chromodomain Helicase DNA binding domain 5 (CHD5) gene acts as a tumour suppressor at 1p36.31 and is frequently deleted in human gliomas1, leukaemias/lymphomas2 and neuroblastomas3. Deletion of the short arm of chromosome 1 is one of the most characteristic genetic changes in neuroblastoma, a tumour of the sympathetic nervous system. This is the most common childhood solid extracranial tumour, accounting for around 8%-10% of childhood cancers and 15% of childhood cancer deaths4. The CHD5 gene has been characterised as the lead tumour suppressor candidate from the 1p36 smallest region of consistent deletion (SRD) region in neuroblastoma5.

SYT (SS18) Breakapart Synovial sarcomas account for up to 10% of soft-tissue sarcomas, typically arising in the para-articular regions in adolescent and young adults1.
Pathology
A characteristic SYT(SS18)-SSX fusion gene resulting from the chromosomal translocation t(X;18)(p11;q11.2) is detectable in more than 90% of synovial sarcomas2, suggesting this is the primary causal event. The translocation fuses the SYT gene from chromosome 18q11.2 to either of two highly homologous genes at Xp11: SSX1 (Synovial Sarcoma X Breakpoint 1) or SSX2. In less than 1% of cases, SYT will be fused to a third gene, SSX43. SYT-SSX1 and SYT-SSX2 are thought to disrupt transcription and the subsequent expression of specific target genes4,5.

TMPRSS2/ERG Deletion/Breakapart Recent studies suggest that over 50% of prostate tumours may carry a chromosomal rearrangement of chromosome 21q221. The genes involved are the androgen-inducible TMPRSS2 (Transmembrane protease, serine 2 (21q22.3)) and an ETS (E-twenty six) family transcription factor, ERG (v-ets erythroblastosis virus E26 oncogene like (21q22.2))1.
Pathology
An apparent intrachromosomal deletion of 3Mb on chromosome 21 fuses TMPRSS2 to ERG. The rearrangement places ERG under the androgen-regulated transcriptional control of TMPRSS22. This fusion is associated with disease progression and the rearrangement in prostate cancer may account for molecular and clinical heterogeneity3. This represents an important subclassification of prostate cancer from a biological and a clinical standpoint3.

TOP2A Amplification/Deletion The Topoisomerase 2A encoding (TOP2A) gene is located on chromosome band 17q21.2, near to the HER2 (ERBB2) oncogene. The TOP2A encoded protein has a function in DNA replication and the transcription of mRNA1,2. Amplification of the TOP2A gene is frequent in breast cancer and is often accompanied by HER2 amplification3. Pathology
TOP2A gene alterations are associated with an increased response to therapy using the anti-cancer drug anthracycline4, while patients with tumours that show normal levels of TOP2A and HER2 do not appear to gain any additional benefit from this drug4.

ZNF217 Amplification The Zinc Finger protein 217 gene (ZNF217), which functions as a transcription repressor for a variety of genes1, is a strong oncogene candidate mapped within the 260kb minimum common amplicon at 20q13.22. ZNF217 is amplified in breast cancer2,3, ovarian cancer and other tumours3,4,5 and is associated with aggressive tumour behaviour6. It has been shown that the silencing of ZNF217 inhibits ovarian cancer cell growth and their invasive ability in cancer cell lines7.

Cytocell's prenatal Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation (FISH) assays are designed for the rapid and accurate detection of the most common foetal chromosomal disorders. Trisomy of chromosome 21, resulting in Down syndrome1, is one of the most common chromosome abnormalities in humans and the risk of having an affected child is known to increase with maternal age2. The syndrome represents a particular combination of phenotypic findings, including characteristic facial appearance, a single palmar crease and mental retardation, and may also present with hearing and heart defects. Affected individuals show a highly increased incidence of leukaemia, particularly acute megakaryocytic leukaemia3.
Prenatal
Trisomy of chromosome 18, resulting in Edwards syndrome, occurs in around 1 in 6000-8000 live births with a female sex bias4. The clinical findings are variable, though many exhibit growth delay, heart defects and craniofacial anomalies, as well as possible limb and kidney abnormalities5. The rarest trisomy, trisomy 13, responsible for Patau syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 16,000 newborns6. Individuals with Patau syndrome present abnormalities affecting many parts of the body, including the heart, spinal cord, eyes, limbs, face/skull and muscles6. Aberrant copy numbers of the X and Y chromosomes can lead to various sex chromosome disorders, such as Klinefelter (47,XXY), Turner (45,X) and other syndromes caused by variations in copy number of X and/or Y. These syndromes have variable incidences and clinical findings7. Cytocell Prenatal kits contain fluorescent probes for easy identification of trisomies 21, 18 and 13 present in Down, Edwards and Patau syndrome, respectively, as well as multiple sex chromosome aneuploidies.

Microdeletion Microdeletion syndromes are a heterogeneous group of disorders brought about by the deletion of specific regions of chromosomal DNA, causing haploinsufficiencies of important genes. These deletions are difficult to visualise using standard cytogenetic techniques, but Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation (FISH) can resolve these submicroscopic deletions and has therefore become the method of choice for the diagnosis of these disorders. Cytocell’s comprehensive range of Microdeletion probes features products for some of the rarest human genetic syndromes. With this in mind, we offer all Microdeletion probes in economical five, or standard ten, test kits.

Alagille (JAG1) Alagille syndrome (AGS) is an autosomal dominant disorder (with reduced penetrance) characterised by abnormalities of the liver, heart, skeleton, eye and face1,2. Mutations in the 36kb long human gene Jagged1 (JAG1), located on chromosome 20p12, have been identified as causal for the abnormalities found in patients with AGS3. This gene encodes a ligand for the Notch 1 transmembrane receptor, which plays a key role in cell fate determination and differentiation3,4. The syndrome has also been noted in a patient with a deletion larger than 3Mb, including JAG1, associated with a translocation t(3;20)(q13.3;p12.2)4.

Angelman (UBE3A/D15S10) In 70% of patients with Angelman syndrome (AS), a large de novo maternal deletion of 3-4Mb at 15q11.2-q13 is observed1,2,3. The remaining 30% of cases have underlying causes such as paternal uniparental disomy of the same region (~2%), imprinting defects (~2-3%) and mutations of the UBE3A gene1. The UBE3A gene lies within the minimum AS critical region4 approximately 400kb telomeric to the SNRPN gene. It shows preferential expression of the maternal allele in the brain5 and is mutated in 20-30% of AS patients with normal methylation and biparental contribution of 15q11-13. It is considered to be one of the causative AS genes4,5.
RefeRenCes 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Microdeletion
The Angelman region probe covers approximately 108kb of genomic DNA, targets most of the UBE3A gene and includes the D15S10 locus. This probe may be used to identify deletions of the AS region, though it will not detect small intragenic deletions or mutations of UBE3A. The probe may also be used to help determine the nature of a Prader-Willi syndrome deletion detected with the SNRPN/Imprinting Centre probe (see LPU005). Large, 3-4Mb deletions of 15q11-13 will cause the deletion of both probe regions (SNRPN/IC and UBE3A/D15S10). Smaller deletions incorporating the IC and SNRPN, will not cause deletion of the UBE3A/D15S10 probe. These deletions may indicate a much higher risk of recurrence (possibly via grandmatrilineal inheritance) and carriers, and their families, may require further investigation6.

CHARGE CHARGE syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder that occurs in approximately 1 in 12,000 births1. The acronym CHARGE summarises six main clinical features: ocular Coloboma, Heart defects of any type, Atresia of the choaneae, Retardation, Genital and Ear anomalies2. Errors in the chromodomain 7 (CHD7) gene were identified as being causative for the syndrome in around 60% of patients with a clinical diagnosis of CHARGE3. CHD7 is located in 8q12.1-q12.2 and is 189kb in size. The CHD7 protein plays a role in chromatin organisation and is a member of the chromodomain helicase DNA-binding (CHD) proteins. CHD7 has an important function in early embryonic development and is ubiquitously expressed in several foetal and adult tissues, including those affected in CHARGE syndrome3. Most CHD7 mutations are

Cri-Du-Chat and SOTOS Probe Combination Cri-Du-Chat syndrome consists of multiple congenital anomalies, mental retardation, microcephaly, abnormal face and a mewing cry in infants. Cri-Du-Chat Syndrome is associated with deletions, which vary in size, of part of the short arm of chromosome 51. The estimated prevalence varies between 1 in 20,000 to 1 in 50,000 births2, making it one of the more common deletion syndromes.

DiGeorge II (10p14) DiGeorge syndrome1, and a variety of congenital malformation syndromes including Velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS)2, share the deletion of chromosome 22 at 22q11.22,3,4,5. These chromosome 22 deletions are collectively coined CATCH22, a mnemonic that covers the clinical findings of Cardiac abnormality, Abnormal facies, Thymic aplasia, Cleft palate and Hypocalaemia/Hyperthyroidism due to a chromosome 22 deletion. In DiGeorge syndrome, however, cases have also been found in which patients have a deletion on chromosome 10p13.4 (DGS2) instead of chromosome 226,7,8. The deletion of the DGS2 locus on 10p may be 50 times less frequent than that of the DGS1 locus on 22q and has been estimated to occur in 1 in 200,000 live births9. A gene called BRUNOL3 (now named CELF2) has been identified within the 300kb minimally deleted region of DGS2 and is postulated to be involved in the DGS2 deletion10. BRUNOL3 is a candidate gene for the heart defect and thymus

DiGeorge and 22q13.3 Deletion Syndrome Probe Combinations DiGeorge Syndrome DiGeorge syndrome1, and a variety of congenital malformation syndromes including Velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS)2, share the deletion of chromosome 22 at 22q11.22,3,4,5. These chromosome 22 deletions are collectively coined CATCH22, a mnemonic that covers the clinical findings of Cardiac abnormality, Abnormal facies, Thymic aplasia, Cleft palate and Hypocalaemia/Hyperthyroidism due to a chromosome 22 deletion. In addition, around 29% of nonsyndromic patients with isolated conotruncal defects have been shown to have a 22q11.2 microdeletion6. The incidence of these anomalies is estimated to be 1:4000 to 1:9700 live births7 and the deletion of 22q11.2 therefore represents one of the most common genetic defects.
Microdeletion
A region of approximately 2Mb, referred to as the DiGeorge Critical Region (DGCR), is the most commonly deleted region and occurs in up to 90% of patients5,8,9. Within the DGCR, a minimal critical region of 300-480kb has been described10,11, containing several genes, including TUPLE1 (HIRA), TBX1, SLC25A1 (CTP) and CLTD.

22q13.3 Deletion Syndrome The 22q13.3 deletion syndrome presents a recognisable phenotype characterised by hypotonia, delay or absence of expressive speech, global developmental delay, normal to accelerated growth and mild dysmorphic features12,13. Some deletions of the terminal region of chromosome 22q are cytogenetically visible. However, a few cases of cryptic deletions have been reported12,14, suggesting that the actual incidence of 22q telomere deletion may be higher than previously thought. Several observations of patients with 22q13.3 deletion showed that the SHANK3 (ProSAP2)20 gene, encoding a structural protein of the postsynaptic density of excitation synapses and expressed in the cortex and cerebellum of the brain15, was disrupted15,16,17 or deleted18, making it a candidate causative gene for this syndrome. The deletion varies dramatically in size from 130kb to 9Mb18,19,20. The use of 22q subtelomeric probes, distal to the ARSA gene, have therefore been recommended for examining all 22q13.3 deletions20,21.

Kallmann (KAL1) and Steroid Sulphatase Deficiency (STS) Probe Combination Kallmann syndrome (KS) is a developmental disease characterised by olfactory deficiency3 and hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (HH), which is responsible for the absence of spontaneous puberty1.
RefeRenCes 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Kallmann syndrome is a heterogeneous developmental genetic disorder affecting approximately 1 in 8,000 males and 1 in 40,000 females2. Reports indicate three modes of inheritance: X-linked, autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive1,4. It has been shown that mutations in the KAL1 gene on Xp22.3 result in the X-linked form of KS5. KAL1 consists of 14 exons and extends over 200kb and abnormalities of KAL1 reported in patients with KS include missense and nonsense mutations, splice site mutations, intragenic deletions and submicroscopic chromosomal deletions involving the entire KAL1 gene7.

Microdeletion
Steroid Sulphatase Deficiency (STS) (also known as X-linked Ichthyosis)8 is the second most common type of ichthyosis and one of the most frequent human enzyme deficiency disorders. Deficiency of the STS enzyme is known to be responsible for dark, adhesive and regular scaling of the skin9. The gene encoding this protein maps to the distal short arm of chromosome X, which escapes X-chromosome inactivation and has the highest ratio of chromosomal deletions among all genetic disorders10. Complete deletions of the STS gene have been found in more than 90% of patients11. The deletions can extend to involve neighbouring genes, causing contiguous gene defects. Therefore, STS may be associated with KS12.

Langer-Giedion Langer-Giedion syndrome (LGS; tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome type II) is an autosomal dominant contiguous gene deletion syndrome involving chromosome bands 8q23.3 and 8q24.11. LGS is characterised by cranio-facial and skeletal abnormalities including multiple cartilaginous exostoses and cone-shaped epiphyses. Mental retardation is also a common finding. LGS combines the clinical features of two autosomal dominant diseases: tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome type 1 and multiple cartilaginous exostoses (caused by defects in the TRPS1 and EXT1 genes respectively). Both genes involved in these conditions are within the Langer-Giedion deletion region, though TRPS1 maps more than 1Mb proximal to EXT12,3.

Monosomy 1p36 Monosomy 1p36 (1p36 deletion syndrome) is one of the most common terminal deletion syndromes, occurring in an estimated 1 in 10,000 births1. It is characterised by developmental delay, growth abnormalities and craniofacial dysmorphism. Minor cardiac malformations, sensorineural hearing loss and opthalmological anomalies have also been observed2. Deletions are extremely variable and range from 1.5 to 10.5Mb3.
Microdeletion
The SKI gene, located at 1p36.33, was deleted in all individuals tested with 1p36 deletion syndrome4. This gene is involved in neural tube development and muscle differentiation5 and deletions in mice produce phenotypes with some similarities to those seen in individuals with 1p36 deletion syndrome6.

Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a relatively common autosomal dominant disorder, occurring in 1 in 3,000-4,000 people1. It is a characterised by neurofibromas, cafĂŠ-au-lait spots, freckles, Lisch nodules, bone deformities, learning disabilities, macrocephaly, short stature and predisposition to developing tumours such as myeloid malignancies, gliomas and pheochromocytomas2,3,4. NF1 is caused by mutations of the tumour suppressor gene, Neurofibromin 1 (NF1), which spans approximately 280kb and is located at 17q11.245. Mutations encompass both single nucleotide substitutions and large genomic deletions. Patients with deletions of the entire gene typically have a more severe presentation than those with intragenic mutations6. Approximately 5-20% of patients with NF1 carry a heterozygous deletion and thus lack one copy of the NF1 gene and further 11 or more contiguous genes7. There are two common sized recurrent deletions, both mediated by non-allelic homologous recombination between regions of high sequence homology: Type 1, spanning 1.4Mb between segmental duplicons and Type 2, with breakpoints in the SUZ12 gene and its pseudogene 1.2Mb away8. Atypical deletions have also been noted with non-recurrent breakpoints8.

Prader-Willi/Angelman (SNRPN) Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) and Angelman Syndrome (AS) are distinct neurogenetic disorders caused by the loss of function of genes on chromosome 15 (bands 15q11-13), on either the paternally or maternally inherited chromosome, respectively1. In 70% of patients, a large interstitial deletion of 3-4Mb is observed1,2. In around 3% of patients, an imprinting defect is observed, caused by either an epimutation or a microdeletion of the Imprinting Centre (IC)1,3. Uniparental disomy, in which both chromosome 15s are inherited from the same parent, accounts for most of the remaining patients with PWS/AS1. The SNRPN gene is one of four imprinted loci that are expressed from the paternal chromosome 15 region (15q11-13) and maps to the

Rubinstein-Taybi Rubinstein-Taybi is a well-defined syndrome characterised by short stature, mental retardation, facial abnormalities, and broad thumbs and first toes1. This condition was described in 19572 but a larger series of cases described in 1963 by Rubinstein and Taybi1 led to the current syndrome name. It is an autosomal-dominant disorder with a frequency of 1 in 100,000 newborns3. The Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) locus resides in chromosome band 16p13.3 and includes a gene encoding a cAMP response element binding protein (CREBBP)4. This gene spans approximately 150kb4 and dosage abnormalities are the common cause of RTS5, with microdeletions of this region accounting for 10-15% of cases5. Disruptions of CREBBP, by either gross chromosomal rearrangements or point mutations, have also been shown to be responsible for Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome4,6.

Saethre-Chotzen/Williams -Beuren Combination Saethre-Chotzen syndrome is a rare, congenital, autosomal dominant disorder characterised by craniofacial and limb abnormalities1. The incidence of this syndrome is estimated to be 1 in 25,000-50,000 live births, though due to the phenotype often being very mild, it is possible that the syndrome is under diagnosed1. The identification of TWIST1 (a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor on chromosome band 7p21.1) as a causative gene2,3 has proved invaluable for the diagnosis of this phenotypically variable disorder1.
Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WBS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a deletion (approx. 1.5-1.8Mb in size, containing around 28 genes6) within chromosome band 7q11.234. The incidence of this syndrome is estimated at 1 in 7,500 to 20,000 live births5,6.
Microdeletion
Patients display a distinctive ‘elfin’ facial appearance, connective tissue problems, SupravalVular Aortic Stenosis (SVAS), growth retardation, renal anomalies, transient hypercalcaemia, hyperacusis and mental retardation7. Haploinsufficiency or hemizygosity of the elastin (ELN) gene has been identified as being responsible for the SVAS8,9 but none of the other clinical features of the syndrome have been unequivocally attributed to specific genes within the WBS deleted region. These genotype-phenotype correlations are made more difficult in WBS patients as the deletion has also been shown to have an effect on normal copy number genes that neighbour the deletion breakpoints10. The Saethre-Chotzen/Williams-Beuren Combination contains a red probe that covers the TWIST1 gene for Saethre-Chotzen syndrome and a green probe covering the area around the ELN gene in the Williams-Beuren syndrome deleted region.

SHOX The SHOX (Short stature Homeobox-containing gene) is located in the pseudoautosomal region (PAR1) of chromosomes X and Y, in bands Xp22.33 and Yp11.321. The gene encodes a transcription factor of 292 and 225 amino acids (SHOXa and SHOXb respectively), whose translated proteins differ in the C-terminal regions. SHOX is a cell-specific homeodomain protein involved in cell cycle and growth regulation and activates transcription in osteogenic cells2. SHOX haploinsufficiency is involved in the aetiology of idiopathic short stature and the short stature observed in Turner syndrome3. Homozygous loss of the SHOX gene has been correlated with Langer type mesomelic dysplasia. Subsequently, heterozygous SHOX mutations were also shown to cause Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis4. The incidence of SHOX deficiency is between 1 in 2000 and 1 in 5000 in the general population and between 1 in 40 and 1 in 150 in short people5,6.

Smith-Magenis (RAI1 and FLII)/Miller-Dieker Probe Combinations Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome characterised by mental retardation, neurobehavorial abnormalities, sleep disturbances, short stature, minor craniofacial and skeletal anomalies, congenital heart defects and renal anomalies1,2. It is one of the most frequently observed human microdeletion syndromes and is associated with an interstitial deletion of the chromosome band 17p11.22. Molecular studies in SMS patients suggest a minimally deleted region (MDR) spanning approximately 700kb3,5, though the common deletion is around 4Mb in size4. The proximal boundary of the MDR is within a region of overlap between the FLII and LLGL1 genes, and the distal boundary within the PEMT gene3. Deletions or mutations in RAI1 (Retinoic Acid Induced 1) gene, which lies within the MDR, are associated with the syndrome3,5,6,7. RAI1 was shown to be the primary gene responsible for most features of SMS8,9. Microdeletion
Whilst deletion of the 17p11.2 region results in SMS, duplication of the same region results in a similar, yet distinct, disorder known as Potocki-Lupski syndrome10. Phenotypically this shares many similarities to SMS, though it is generally milder, but does have some unique clinical findings10. The common duplication involves the same 4Mb region as the SMS deletion as both syndromes are mediated by non-allelic homologous recombination between flanking low copy repeat regions4. Miller-Dieker syndrome (MDS) is a multiple malformation characterised by classical lissencephaly, a characteristic facial appearance and sometimes other birth defects11. It is associated with visible or submicroscopic rearrangements within chromosome band 17p13.3 in almost all cases12. Isolated lissencephaly sequence (ILS) consists of classical lissencephaly with no other major anomalies13. Submicroscopic deletions of chromosome 17p13.3 have been detected in almost 40% of these patients12. MDS is considered a contiguous gene deletion syndrome where deletion of physically contiguous genes leads to the complex phenotypic abnormalities observed. The PAFAH1B1 (LIS1) gene is located at 17p13.3 and is recognised as the causative gene for the lissencephaly phenotype in both MDS and ILS14,15. Deletions in MDS patients always include the PAFAH1B1 gene, together with other telomeric loci to a distance in excess of 250kb14.

SRY SRY (sex-determining region Y), located in band Yp11.31, is the genetic master switch of mammalian sex determination1. It encodes a transcription factor that is a member of the high mobility group (HMG) -box family of DNA binding proteins2. In mammals, it triggers the development of undifferentiated gonads into testes3. Human zygotes with mutations in SRY develop into XY females, while XX zygotes in the presence of SRY develop a male phenotype with occasional ambiguous genitalia4,5. Translocations of X and Y are rarely reported but often lead to sex reversal6. RefeRences 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Wolf-Hirschhorn Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is a multiple malformation syndrome characterised by severe growth deficiency, severe to profound mental retardation with the onset of convulsions in early infancy, microcephaly, sacral dimples and a characteristic face ('Greek helmet appearance')1,2. The phenotype results from the partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4 (4p16.3). Molecular analyses of patients with small terminal and interstitial deletions have allowed the definition of the Wolf-Hirschhorn Critical Region, which is 165kb in size and lies between D4S166 and D4S33273.

XIST In humans, one X chromosome is inactivated (Xi) in every female cell in order to achieve transcriptional balance. An X-linked inactivation centre (XIC) is responsible for the initiation of X inactivation. The exact size of the XIC is unclear but it includes the X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) gene at Xq13.2. This encodes a large non-coding RNA that is initially expressed on both X chromosomes before ceasing expression on the active X and becoming upregulated on the X that is to become inactivated1. The XIST RNA product coats the future Xi chromosome, spreading out from the XIC. Very small ring r(X) chromosomes that do not include the XIST gene have been associated with a more severe phenotype in syndromes such as Turner Syndrome2,3.

Chromoprobe Multiprobe® OctoChrome™ Cytocell's Chromoprobe Multiprobe® OctoChrome™ combines the utility of an 8 square Multiprobe device and our Whole Chromosome Painting probes (labelled in 3 different colours), to allow all 24 chromosomes to be identified on a single slide. The OctoChrome™ device therefore allows simultaneous analysis of the whole genome on one slide, in one hybridisation. Each square of the device carries whole chromosome painting probes for three different chromosomes labelled in three different colour fluorophores: red, green and blue (Texas Red®, FITC and Aqua spectra, respectively). These are visible simultaneously with a DAPI/FITC/Texas Red® triple filter or individually through specific single filters. The arrangement of chromosome combinations on the Octochrome™ device has been specifically designed to facilitate the identification of non-random chromosome rearrangements that are found in the most common leukaemias.

Acro-P-Arm Probe The Nucleolar Organiser Regions (NOR) contain clusters of genes which code for the three largest structural rRNA molecules (5.8S, 18S and 28S). Satellites
These rRNA genes are critically important for the viability of the cell and represent around 0.5% of the human diploid genome. They are found in the short arm of the acrocentric chromosomes and are the region around which the nucleoli develop at the end of mitosis1. A NOR can translocate to a terminal region of another chromosome. In rare instances this can be pathogenic, particularly when the

tumours3. In routine cytogenetic analysis, NOR can be used to delineate marker chromosomes through a process of silver staining the NOR (known as AgNOR staining4). However, the technique relies on translation of protein and if this is not present, conventional silver staining will not stain the NOR. Cytocell's FISH probe has been developed to overcome this problem so that presence of the acrocentric chromosomes in the marker can be detected.

Subtelomere Specific Probes Chromosomal rearrangements involving the ends of chromosomes have emerged as an important cause of genetic disease given the gene-rich nature of the regions adjacent to the telomeres1. The importance of such subtelomeric chromosome rearrangements has been clearly shown by their observed association with unexplained mental retardation and congenital abnormalities2. Individual subtelomere specific probes have been used to focus on particular subtelomeric regions and have resulted in the establishment of syndromes such as the chromosome 1p36 deletion syndrome3,10 and the 22q13.3 deletion syndrome4. The probes are also finding applications in the investigation of autistic disorders5, recurrent miscarriages6 and haematological malignancies7. Cytocell's subtelomere specific probes are located in the most distal region of chromosome specific DNA on each chromosome. Beyond this unique sequence material is the 100 to 300kb region of telomere associated repeat followed by the cap of between 3 to 20kb of tandemly repeated (TTAGGG)n sequence8.
Subtelomeres
The probes have been chosen from the most distal unique sequence to provide the best possible specificity, whilst also being applicable for routine use for the examination of subtelomeric enumeration and integrity. The original second-generation set of probes is derived from PAC clones9 and was established in conjunction with the Institute of Molecular Medicine, part of Oxford University, in the UK11. Continuing product improvements have led to some substitutions with alternative cosmid (35-40kb) or BAC (150kb) clones to give improved signal strength or chromosome specificity.

Chromoprobe Multiprobe® -T Applications Subtelomeric rearrangements in idiopathic mental retardation and/or in malformation syndromes Over the past 20 years, there have been numerous large and small scale studies that have shown the importance of subtelomeric chromosome rearrangements as a major cause of mental retardation and/or malformation syndromes. The largest study, involving screening of 11,688 cases, reported clinically significant subtelomeric abnormalities in around 2.5% of cases, with an additional 0.5% detection rate of familial variants12. Previous studies showed abnormality rates to be between 2 and 29%, with the large variance in figures most likely being due to sampling biases, with estimates being higher in patients with moderate to severe metal retardation than those with a mild version12,13,14. The Chromoprobe Multiprobe®-T assay allows, in one single experiment, the identification of subtle chromosome rearrangements in patients suspected of carrying a chromosome anomaly, but who have an apparently normal karyotype.
Characterisation of known abnormalities Subtelomeric chromosome rearrangement screening has been clearly associated with the establishment of new syndromes such as the chromosome 1p36 deletion syndrome10 and the 22q13.3 deletion syndrome11. RefeRenCes
Subtelomeres
Autistic disorders Several reports have associated subtelomeric chromosomal rearrangements with autistic disorders5.
Recurrent miscarriages Subtelomeric rearrangements are also being investigated in recurrent miscarriages6.
Haematological cancers Other clinical applications include the characterisation of haematological abnormalities7 initially detected by standard cytogenetic studies but where further submicroscopic rearrangements cannot be ruled out by the limited resolution of standard karyotyping. Therefore, telomere screening provides confirmation and further characterisation of these cases.

Chromoprobe Multiprobe速 -T Device The Chromoprobe Multiprobe速-T device is divided into 24 squares. Each square carries subtelomere specific probes for both the p-arm and the q-arm of one of the 23 chromosomes (except for the acrocentric chromosomes). The p-arm and the q-arm probes for each chromosome are labelled in different colours with two spectrally independent fluorophores (green and red respectively). These are located together in the corresponding Multiprobe square. This format provides each other with an internal hybridisation control and effective chromosome identification.

Murine Painting Probes* Cytocell offers a comprehensive range of Murine Whole Chromosome Painting probes for the assessment of chromosome number, breakage or rearrangement. Our Whole Chromosome Paints were initially developed from flow sorted Mus musculus chromosomes in the laboratory of Prof. Malcolm Ferguson-Smith, Cambridge University Department of Veterinary Medicine, UK. With current advances in murine research, Cytocell has optimised each of the Murine Painting probes for use on Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tissue and fixed cell suspensions. Having reviewed current laboratory practices, we are the only manufacturer to offer optional hyb. times – 4 hours or overnight. The probes are available in either a red or a green fluorophore (Texas Red® or FITC spectra respectively) to enable multiple paints to be combined in a single reaction. They are provided ready-to-use in hybridisation solution and supplied with DAPI counterstain. The kits are available in an economical 5 or 10 test format. Aquarius® Murine Whole Chromosome Painting probes provide you with the advantage of: • FAST hyb. time – 4 hours or overnight
• Multiple sample types
• Ability to mix multiple paints
• Ready-to-use reagents
• Simple FISH protocol
• Specific high intensity signals
• Minimal background
• Economical kit format
