FISH may be used to detect rearrangement of the most commonly rearranged genes in Ph-like ALL for which targeted therapies are currently available (e.g., ABL-family kinase genes, CRLF2, NTRK3) with caveats—for example, the focal insertions of EPOR into IGH and similar enhancer regions are not robustly detected by FISH due to the small size of the EPOR insertion. The gene discussed is ABL1; the disease is acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
