The Molecular Genetics Company, has launched its CE-IVD labelled Cytocell Aquarius ® 1p36/1q25 and 19q13/19p13 Deletion Probe Kit*, a cost-effective fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) kit for the reliable investigation of glial tumours.
Co-deletion of the 1p36.32 and 19q13.33 regions are frequently reported in many classes of gliomas.1,2 Moreover, the presence of a 1p and 19q co-deletion is a strong prognostic factor, which is often associated with improved outcome and responsiveness to therapy in stage II and stage III gliomas.3 Presenting the gold standard of co-deletion detection, FISH is also central in the move towards replacing morphological grading with molecular analysis — providing the molecular insights to overcome the variable relationship between histological type and clinical outcome.
Created specifically for the investigation of co-deletion status in glial tumour specimens, the new CE-IVD labelled Cytocell Aquarius 1p36/1q25 and 19q13/19p13 Deletion Probe Kit consistently delivers bright, specific signals with minimal background. By ...
