## Abstract Although astrocytomas are the most common central nervous system tumours in all age groups, there is substantial evidence that tumours arising in young patients (< 25 years of age) do not have the same genetic abnormalities that are characteristic of tumours in older patients. Furthermo
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) allow cytogenetic analyses of primary tumors without culture. CGH allows detection and mapping of allelic imbalance by simultaneous in situ hybridization of differentially labeled tumor (green fluorescing) and norm
Deletions and translocations of 13q14 are the most frequent structural chromosome abnormalities found in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). We have identified 13q14 translocations in the blood of 30 of 450 (6.6%) CLL patients by conventional cytogenetics, using tetradecanoyl phorbol 12-myristate 1
## Abstract Ependymomas are the third most common brain tumour in the paediatric population. Although cytogenetic and molecular analyses have pinpointed deletions of chromosomes 6q, 17, and 22 in a subset of tumours, definitive patterns of genetic aberrations have not been determined. In the presen
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
