The TERT/CCP5 FISH Probe Kit is designed to detect the human TERT gene located on chromosome band 5p15.33, along with the number of chromosome 5 copies per cell.
Gains and losses of portions of the TERT gene – also known as TP2, TRT, CMM9, EST2, TCS1, hTRT, DKCA2, DKCB4, hEST2 or PFBMFT1 – have been reported in a variety of tumor types.
