## BACKGROUND. Intracranial primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) occur in the supratentorial and infratentorial regions of the brain. Although histologically similar, the natural history of the tumor at each site differs. The study goal was to determine whether there was evidence of a genetic
A series of 18 primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs), the most common malignant central nervous system tumors of childhood. were analyzed with the recently developed approach of comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). In five cases, in which only small amounts of DNA were available, universal po
Four low-grade oligodendrogliomas, nine anaplastic oligodendrogliomas and two mixed oligoastrocytomas were investigated for chromosomal aberrations by comparative genomic hybridization on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples. The most frequent losses observed involved 1p, 9p, 10pq, 14q,
