FGF4 Break Apart FISH Probe

Empire Genomics’ FGF4 Break Apart FISH Probe is designed to flank the FGF4 gene and is typically used for detecting FGF4 rearrangements such as translocations. This probe is FISH confirmed on normal peripheral blood metaphase spreads and interphase nuclei. The probe comes labeled in green and orange by default, but may be customized to meet your needs.

Gene Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities and are involved in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. This gene was identified by its oncogenic transforming activity. This gene and FGF3, another oncogenic growth factor, are located closely on chromosome 11. Co-amplification of both genes was found in various kinds of human tumors. Studies on the mouse homolog suggested a function in bone morphogenesis and limb development through the sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Poor prognostic impact of FGF4 amplification in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most common types of esophageal cancer and has a poor prognosis. The FGF4 gene was analyzed to determine the prognostic impact and clinicopathological features associated with amplification. FISH analysis was used with our FGF4 probe to detect the amplification status of the gene. It was found that those with the FGF4 amplification showed a significantly shorter disease-free and overall survival compared to those without the amplification. Therefore, the presence or absence of FGF4 amplification can be used to give patients a predictor for how much longer they can expect to live.
