Open AccessAutomated detection of residual cells after sex-mismatched stem-cell transplantation – evidence for presence of disease-marker negative residual cells
A new chimerism analysis based on automated interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) evaluation was established to detect residual cells after allogene sex-mismatched bone marrow or blood stem-cell...

Small supernumerary marker chromosomes (SMCs): genotype-phenotype correlation and classification
Small supernumerary marker chromosomes (SMCs) are present in about 0.05% of the human population. In approximately 30% of SMC carriers (excluding the ~60% SMC derived from one of the acrocentric chromosomes), ...

Centromere-Specific Multicolor-FISH (cenM-FISH)
24-color FISH using five different fluorochromes has recently been described as M-FISH or SKY, and is a useful technique for the characterization of complex chromosomal aberrations (Speicher et al., 1996; Schr...

A new multicolor-FISH approach for the characterization of marker chromosomes: centromere-specific multicolor-FISH (cenM-FISH)
Centromere-specific multi-color FISH (cenM-FISH) is a new multicolor FISH technique that allows the simultaneous characterization of all human centromeres by using labeled centromeric satellite DNA as probes....
