Numerical chromosome anomaly was one of the most important kinds of human chromosome diseases by inducing pregnancy loss, miscarriage, infant death, congenital malformations and nerve damage. The present study was to establish a rapid, reliable and reasonable multicolor primed in situ labeling (PRINS) protocol for diagnosing numerical anomaly in human chromosome. First, nuclei of cultured lymphocytes and sperms were labeled with the method of PRINS, and then nuclei of cultured lymphocytes, sperms and other specimen were labeled with the method of updated non-ddNTP-blocking multicolor PRINS technique. The labeling effect of different target sequences and the feature of different fluorochromes were evaluated by experiment. Meanwhile, several parameters of PRINS were optimized to obtain more homogeneous and stable labeling effect. At last, the applicative value of PRINS was evaluated by comparing the clinical effect and labeling characteristics between FISH probe and PRINS. In the present study, several chromosomes were simultaneously marked successfully in the same sperm nucleus within 2.5 hours. And the frequency of one-color-labeling reached 99%. The many advantages, compared with FISH, make PRINS become the first choice in diagnosing diseases related to numerical anomaly in human chromosome.

D002877	Chromosomes, Human	Very long DNA molecules and associated proteins, HISTONES, and non-histone chromosomal proteins (CHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS, NON-HISTONE). Normally 46 chromosomes, including two sex chromosomes are found in the nucleus of human cells. They carry the hereditary information of the individual.

D015203	Reproducibility of Results	The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.

D017404	In Situ Hybridization, Fluorescence	A type of IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION in which target sequences are stained with fluorescent dye so their location and size can be determined using fluorescence microscopy. This staining is sufficiently distinct that the hybridization signal can be seen both in metaphase spreads and in interphase nuclei.
