The CCND2 Break Apart FISH Probe Kit is designed to detect rearrangements in the human CCND2 gene located on chromosome band 12o13.32. In addition to revealing breaks, which can lead to translocation of parts of the gene, inversion, or its fusion to other genes, the probe set can also be used to identify other CCND2 aberrations such as deletions or amplifications. Rearrangements and abnormal expression of the CCND2 gene – also known as MPPH3 or KIAK0002 - has been observed in mantle cell lymphoma, some acute leukemias, and in other hematological and solid tissue malignancies.

The probe is labeled with CytoOrange and CytoGreen. CytoOrange is a fluorophore with an excitation peak at 551 nm and emission peak at 575 nm, giving it an orange fluorescent signal with an appropriate filter; CytoGreen has an excitation peak at 495 nm and emission peak at 518 nm, giving it an green fluorescent signal with an appropriate filter.
