Hypotriploidy/hyperdiploidy ("intermediate ploidy") often occurs in testicular germ cell tumors of adolescents and adults. Disomic and trisomic chromosomes represent significant parts of the tumor genome and a few chromosomes fall outside the two- to three-copy number range. We performed comparative

The quality of cytogenetic analysis of solid tumours has greatly improved in the past decade, but a number of technical difficulties remain which limit the characterization of solid tumour chromosomes by conventional cytogenetics alone. The identification of regions of chromosomal abnormality has be
Comparative genomic hybridization, a widely used method for screening for genomic imbalances, suffers from a lack of standardized evaluation. In order to compare a recently proposed data-driven procedure with the commonly used fixed cutoff values, we tested 257 events by both procedures as well as b
We report genomic abnormalities identified in 14 human primary common bile duct carcinomas analyzed by cytogenetics or comparative genomic hybridization, or both. Combining the results of the two methods of analysis, 11 chromosomal arms were observed to be gained in whole or in part, and 9 chromosom
