MERTK FISH Probe

The MERTK FISH probe is designed to hybridize to the MERTK gene and is primarily used for detecting amplifications and deletions associated with the gene. This probe is FISH confirmed on normal peripheral blood metaphase spreads and interphase nuclei. The probe can be labeled in one of five colors. Each probe is sold in a 20 test kit (approximately 20 slides - 22x22 mm area) and includes hybridization buffer. Please note that due to design optimizations, prices are subject to change.

Gene Summary

This gene is a member of the MER/AXL/TYRO3 receptor kinase family and encodes a transmembrane protein with two fibronectin type-III domains, two Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains, and one tyrosine kinase domain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) phagocytosis pathway and onset of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

Genomic Fusions in Pigmented Spindle Cell Nevus of Reed

Pigmented spindle cell nevus (PSCN) of Reed is a type of Spitz nevus that can be difficult to diagnose. It is thought that gene fusions could be the basis of PSCN. The molecular characteristics of PSCN was under study with the use of RNA-sequencing and FISH. FISH analysis was performed with our MERTK and PITX3 fusion probes among other FISH tests. It was found that the majority of PSCN of Reed cases are the result of gene fusions, with the most frequent fusion involving NTRK3.
