METTL5-MERTK Fusion FISH Probe

The METTL5-MERTK Fusion FISH Probe is used to confirm a fusion of the METTL5 and MERTK genes. The fusion of the METTL5 and MERTK genes has been associated with Skin Cutaneous Melanoma. These probes are FISH confirmed on normal peripheral blood in both interphase nuclei and metaphase spreads before shipment. Typical turnaround time for this product is 7-14 days after purchase.

** This product is for in vitro and research use only. This product is not intended for diagnostic use. Please note that both genes fall on the same chromosome and inter-chromosomal detection may be difficult to detect depending on the genes proximity to one another. Please consult our support staff before ordering this product to ensure that the probe can be designed to meet your specific needs.

Turnaround Time: 7-10 Business Days    Shipping Time: 1-2 Day Expedited Shipping

MERTK 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.
