a

No gain: gene signal ≤ 2 in > 90% of nuclei counted; low gain: gene signal ≥ 3 in ≥ 10% nuclei counted and gene signal ≥ 4 in < 10% nuclei counted; high gain: gene signal ≥ 4 in ≥ 10% of nuclei counted or Gene/CEP ratio ≥ 2 or tight clusters of gene signal ≥ 15 in ≥ 10% of nuclei counted.

b

Disomy: centermere signal ≤ 2 in > 90% of nuclei counted; Trisomy: centremere signal =3 in ≥ 10% and centremere signal ≥ 4 in < 10% nuclei counted; Polysomy: centremere signal ≥ 4 in ≥ 10% of nuclei counted.
