Leukemias are a diverse group of diseases often characterized by multiple genetic aberrations distributed across the genome. In some cases, the same genetic aberrations are shared by different types of leukemia. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has improved the detection of genomic aberrations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Chromosomal aberrations are detected in approximately 82% of patients. The most frequent changes are deletion 13q (55%), deletion 11q (18%), trisomy 12 (16 %), deletion 17p (7%) and deletion 6q (6%). FISH can detect these abnormalities in either interphase or metaphase cells.
