The WWOX/CCP16 FISH Probe Kitis designed to detect the human WWOX gene located on chromosome band 16q23.1, along with the number of chromosome 16 copies per cell.
Rearrangements and abnormal expression of the WWOX gene – also known as FOR, WOX1, DEE28, EIEE28, FRA16D, SCAR12, HHCMA56, PRO0128, SDR41C1 or D16S432E – have been observed in multiple types of cancer and associated with autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 12.
