Structurally rearranged chromosomes 1 were found in 9 out of 14 ovarian carcinomas and may also have been present in three others. In the remaining two, pericentric inversions involving the heterochromatic regions of chromosomes 1 were seen, and were also identified in one of the chromosomes 1 in th

At least two types of small metacentrics, which are isochromosomes for 12p and either 4p or 5p, respectively, are significantly associated with certain types of cancer and their formation may represent important stages in the development of these tumours. The specificity of the i(12p) for testicular
## Abstract Twenty malignant effusions secondary to ovarian cancer have been cytogenetically analyzed directly and after short __in vitro__ culture. With the exception of one sample characterized by trisomy 3, all cases displayed clonal structural rearrangements. Chromosomes 1 and 3 were most frequ
