HER2 Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization (FISH) Interpretation
Steps:
Read 20 cells, document the copy number of the HER2 gene (orange) and the copy number of the centromere 17 signal (green).
Calculate the average copy number of each, per cell.
Calculate the average ratio of HER2 to centromere 17.
Interpretation:
NEGATIVE for amplification:
HER2 ratio <2.0 with an average copy number of <4.0 signals/cell
POSITIVE for amplification:
HER2 ratio > 2.2
EQUIVOCAL
:
<2.0 with an average HER2 copy
≥
4.0 and <6.0 signals/cell.
