PAX5 Break Apart FISH Probe

Empire Genomics’ PAX5 Break Apart FISH Probe is designed to flank the PAX5 gene and is typically used for detecting PAX5 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

This gene encodes a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. The central feature of this gene family is a novel, highly conserved DNA-binding motif, known as the paired box. Paired box transcription factors are important regulators in early development, and alterations in the expression of their genes are thought to contribute to neoplastic transformation. This gene encodes the B-cell lineage specific activator protein that is expressed at early, but not late stages of B-cell differentiation. Its expression has also been detected in developing CNS and testis and so the encoded protein may also play a role in neural development and spermatogenesis. This gene is located at 9p13, which is involved in t(9;14)(p13;q32) translocations recurring in small lymphocytic lymphomas of the plasmacytoid subtype, and in derived large-cell lymphomas. This translocation brings the potent E-mu enhancer of the IgH gene into close proximity of the PAX5 promoter, suggesting that the deregulation of transcription of this gene contributes to the pathogenesis of these lymphomas. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma carrying t(9;14)(p13;q32)/PAX5-immunoglobulin heavy chain gene is characterized by nuclear positivity of MUM1 and PAX5 by immunohistochemistry

PAX5 encodes a transcription factor that helps regulate B-cell development. Rearrangements of the gene have been found in several low-grade B-cell tumors, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), where it’s frequently found fused to IGH. This study examined PAX5 expression in 4 DLBCL patients harboring PAX5/IGH fusions. Our PAX5 break-apart probe was used to confirm these fusions.
