New lymphoma probes Zytolight
ZytoLight SPEC MALT1/IGH Dual Color Dual Fusion Probe (Prod. No. Z-2325-50).
The intended purpose of this probe is the qualitative detection of the translocation t(14;18)(q32.3;q21.3) involving the human MALT1 gene at 18q21.32 and the human IGH locus at 14q32.33 in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens by FISH.
he MALT1/IGH fusion is a genetic rearrangement in which the MALT1 gene (which is involved in immune signaling) fuses with the IGH gene. This fusion results in the overexpression of MALT1. Detecting MALT1/IGH fusions is particularly useful in cancer diagnostics because the translocation t(14;18)/MALT1-IGH, along with the translocations t(11;18)/BIRC3-MALT1 and t(1;14)/BCL10-IGH, are specific to MALT lymphoma (a.k.a extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue). Thus, detecting this fusion can serve as a diagnostic biomarker for MALT lymphoma by helping pathologists differentiate it from other types of lymphoma or lymphoid tumors.

ZytoLight SPEC TNFRSF14/1q25 Dual Color Probe (Prod. No. Z-2323-50).
The intended purpose of this probe is the qualitativedetection of human TNFRSF14 gene deletions and 1q25.3 specific sequences in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a morphologically and genetically well-characterized B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Approximately 85% of FLs harbor the translocation t(14;18)(q32;q21), involving BCL2 and IGH, and consistently display a follicular growth pattern. However, some FL cases lack, partly or completely, this follicular organization. The hallmark translocation of FL, the t(14;18)(q32;q21), is absent in the large majority of these diffuse FL cases. Instead, most diffuse FL cases harbor a deletion in the 1p36 locus, in which the TNFRSF14 gene is located. FL with 1p36 deletion shows distinctive clinical, morphological and molecular features that distinguish it from classical FL.
