MECOM Tri-Color Break Apart FISH Probe is expertly designed to detect MECOM translocations, enhancing the detection of genetic abnormalities. This probe features vibrant labeling in orange, green, and aqua for clear differentiation, with options for customization to align with your specific research requirements.

MECOM (MDS1 and EVI1 complex locus) encodes a zinc finger protein serving as a key transcriptional regulator. Abnormal expression of MECOM commonly arises from its structural rearrangements, with the most prevalent being inv(3)(q21;q26.2) and t(3;21)(q36.2;q22). The breakpoints involved in these rearrangements can vary significantly. MECOM is frequently mutated in hematological malignancies of myeloid origin, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Notably, AML associated with inv(3)(q21q26.2) or t(3;3)(q21;q26.2) is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a distinct disease entity, marked by abnormalities in MECOM at 3q26.2 and RPN1 (ribophorin I) at 3q21.2. Additionally, MECOM has been implicated in therapy-related malignancies through t(3;21)(q26.2;q22), leading to fusion with RUNX1.
