The number of interphase nuclei exhibiting paired or fused green and red signals (numerator), the total number of nuclei examined (denominator), and the percentage of nuclei apparently positive for the t(2; 5) are shown for those cases in which 150 or fewer nuclei were analyzed.

In initial cytogenetic characterization, case no. 921332 was thought to contain the t(2; 5). The nomenclature shown is a revision following reexamination of the sample subsequent to NPM-ALK FISH analysis.
