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

It is unclear whether ovarian borderline tumors (tumors of low malignant potential) are independent entities or whether they are part of a continuum of tumor progression that culminates in ovarian carcinoma. Little is known about genetic abnormalities in borderline tumors because of the difficulty o
## 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
Little information is available on the molecular mechanisms underlying neuroendocrine tumorigenesis. To obtain an overview of the genomic imbalances characterizing these tumors, we studied 20 benign or malignant sporadic endocrine gastroenteropancreatic tumors by comparative genomic hybridization. C
