For the following scenarios, state which technique(FISH, Immunofluorescence. ) you woulduse and why.
1) i. You are screening newborns for Down Syndrome (Trisomy21).ii. You are screening brain samples for the presence of Tau plaquesthat indicate Alzheimer’s disease.iii. You are screening leukemia patients for the BCR/ABLtranslocation. This means that the ABL gene from chromosome 9 isbroken off and fused to chromosome 22, right next to theBCR gene. This results in a BCR-ABL1 fusion protein.
