Figure Illustration of fluorescent probes to identify normal chromosome 12 and isochromosome i(12p) (a) and charged coupled device image showing the nucleus from a germ-cell tumour showing i(12p) and normal chromosome 12 (b) The size of the signal from the centromere probe (red) is different in the i(12p) and this can be seen in interphase cells. The signal from the centromere probe is flanked by signal from a 12p marker (green) in the i(12p) chromosome. The nucleus shows three copies of a normal 12 chromosome and three copies of an i(12p) chromosome (circled).
