We describe here the clinical applications of fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia under treatment with interferon-alpha, some cases with a false positive caused by preparation of specimen and/or probes, and the detection of chimerism after sex-mismatched bone marrow transplantation based on our clinical experience. Furthermore, we introduced our methods of performing FISH using blood smear or G banding specimens.
