(2) Many laboratories have relied on alternative and not clinically validated chromosome 17 fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) probes, which turned into positive almost one half of equivocal cases (30% to 50%), (1, 3, 4) but, because no evidence of therapy efficacy has been reported in this subgroup, the 2018 Expert Panel has taken a strong position against using this approach as a routine strategy.

The most commonly used method to analyze nucleic acids is fluorescence in situ hybridization, but the kind of information accessible for genomes and transcripts can be expanded with padlock probes (3), branched DNA probes (4), and techniques that make use of differentially labeled and designed probes, such as molecular beacons (5) or quantum dot-labeled probes (6).
