Familial occurrence of gliomas, in the absence of well-defined hereditary multisystem disorders, is reported occasionally. We describe 17 families that have been afflicted with two or more gliomas but do not raise suspicion of other inheritable syndromes. The families were identified among 369 conse

## Abstract The genetic hallmark of retinoblastoma is mutation or deletion of the __RB1__ gene, whereas other genetic alterations that are also required are largely unknown. To screen for genomic imbalances on a genomewide level, we studied a series of 17 primary retinoblastomas by matrix‐based com
Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was used to evaluate and map genomic aberrations in 50 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) from patients chronically infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). CGH clearly detected nonrandom genomic imbalances. Losses were most prevalent on chromosome regions 4q (70%
## Abstract The incidence of adenocarcinoma arising at the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) is increasing at a rate greater than that for any other form of solid malignancy. Commensurate with this, the incidence of histologically similar tumors arising in the gastric body and antral mucosa is declini
