FISH results in the heterogeneous cases (hetMNA and het11q-del).

Disomic cells (ratio 2∶2) and numeric alterations (ratios 3∶3; 4∶4…), balanced ratio between the signal numbers of chromosomal region of interest and the reference signals on the opposite arm of the chromosome; Cells with gain (ie ratios 2∶4; 3∶4…), signal numbers of the chromosomal region of interest exceed up to 4-fold the number of reference signals; Cells with imbalance (ie ratios 3∶2; 4∶3…), imbalance ratio between the signal numbers of chromosomal region of interest and the reference signals with more than 1 signals of chromosomal region of interest; Cells with deletion (ie. ratios 2∶1; 3∶1 4∶1…), unbalanced ratio between the signal numbers of the chromosomal region of interest and the reference signals with only 1 signal of the chromosomal region of interest; hetMNA, occurrence of clusters or as single cells with amplification (at least five cells per slide) surrounded by non-amplified tumor cells.
ND, not done.
The cases have been listed according to chromosome 2 aberrations using pangenomic techniques.
