The TERC/CCP3 FISH Probe Kit is designed to detect the human TERC gene located on chromosome band 3q26.2, along with the number of chromosome 3 copies per cell.
Amplification and abnormal expression of the TERC gene – also known as TR, hTR, TRC3, DKCA1, PFBMFT2 or SCARNA19 – is a hallmark of malignant cervical cancer but is also dysregulated in other tumor types.
