Abstract
We have developed a method to generate FISH probes from small (2-4 kb) nonrepetitive genomic restriction fragments. The probes showed a high hybridization efficiency of up to 90 % in metaphase cells from normal peripheral blood. With the use of these probes, homozygous as well as hemizygous 9p deletions were reliably identified in nine leukemia-der ived cell lines.
