Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome arm 17p is the most common genetic aberration in childhood primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs). To determine the frequency and extent of 17p deletions, 29 loci on 17p were investigated in 24 tumors by using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFL
Exposure to the carcinogen asbestos is considered to be a major factor contributing to the development of most malignant mesotheliomas (MMs). We highlight the role of asbestos in MM and summarize cytogenetic and molecular genetic findings in this malignancy. The accumulation of numerous clonal chrom
