We used comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to evaluate DNA sequence copy number changes in 67 synovial sarcomas of both monophasic and biphasic histological subtypes. Changes (mean among aberrant cases: 4.7 aberrations/tumor; range: 1-17), affecting most often entire chromosomes or chromosome a

Prior cytogenetic analyses of hepatoblastomas have shown the most common recurring abnormalities to be trisomy for chromosomes 2 and 20, and a recurrent translocation involving chromosomes 1 and 4 identified in a minority of cases. Four cases have shown double minute chromosomes, which provide cytog
Background. Clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK) is a rare malignant pediatric tumor, distinguished from the Wilms tumor by its characteristic histologic features and a more aggressive clinical behavior with a tendency to metastasize to bone. Genetic studies on CCSK are limited and no consistent
Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) is based on quantitative digital image analysis of fluorescence intensities from metaphase chromosomes. High-quality CCD cameras are commonly used for image acquisition, but the minimal requirements of CCD cameras have not been determined. We first evaluated m
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
