Multicentric chromosomes, as represented by dicentric chromosomes, are
considered to be sensitive and specific biomarkers for assessing radiation
dose. Efforts have been made to precisely localize centromeres by
fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using pan-centromeric peptide
nucleic acid (PNA) probes, which bind to the target centromeric DNA
sequences quickly. We analyzed radiation-induced chromosomal aberrations by
our modified technique that is simpler than the standard PNA - FISH
protocol. Under our experimental conditions, the detection efficiency of
centromeric signals was 100%, while that of telomeric signals was 90-100%.
