Deletion of the 9p21 chromosomal region is frequently found in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The target of these deletions is CDKN2A, a gene encoding both p16(INK4a) and p14(ARF). However, contiguous genes such as CDKN2B, encoding p15(INK4b), or MTAP, encoding methylthioadenosine pho

## Abstract Very little is known about the genetics of fibrosarcoma (FS) of bone. We applied array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to identify genes and genomic regions with potential role in the pathogenesis of this tumor. Seventeen patients with FS of bone were included in the study. Arra
The t(1;19)(q23;p13), detected cytogenetically in 5-6% of cases, is one of the most common translocations in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Most t(1;19)ϩ ALLs are pseudodiploid or contain fewer than 50 chromosomes, are classified as pre-B based on expression of cytoplasmic, but not su
BACKGROUND. Preventive cranial radiotherapy (CRT) in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), although effective, may be associated with neurologic sequelae and second malignancies. Attempts to replace CRT with intensified intrathecal therapy (IT) have shown promise in lower risk subgroups. In
