Fluorescence in situ hybridization on single cells. (Sex determination and chromosome rearrangements).

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is the technique of choice for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) selection of female embryos in families with X-linked disease, for which there is no mutation-specific test. FISH with target-specific DNA probes is also the primary technique used for PGD detection of chromosome imbalance associated with Robertsonian translocations, reciprocal translocations, inversions, and other chromosome rearrangements, because the DNA probes, labeled with different fluorochromes or haptens, detect the copy number of their target loci. The methods described outline strategies for PGD for sex determination and chromosome rearrangements. These methods are assessment of reproductive risks, the selection of suitable probes for interphase FISH, spreading techniques for blastomere nuclei, and in situ hybridization and signal scoring using directly labeled and indirectly labeled probes.
