Abstract

Cytogenetic and/or loss of heterozygosity studies were performed on 13 ependymomas, 11 pilocytic astrocytomas, and 18 oligodendrogliomas. Loss of chromosome 22 was the most frequent genetic abnormality among the ependymomas. We found no consistent genetic abnormality in pilocytic astrocytomas. The most common genetic abnormality in oligodendrogliomas was loss of a portion of chromosome 19. Each informative oligodendroglioma had loss of alleles mapped to the long arm (q) of chromosome 19. One oligodendroglioma had an apparent homozygous deletion of the D19S8 locus. Our results, when combined with those in the literature, indicate that chromosomes 9, 11, and 22 may harbor genes important for the pathogenesis of ependymomas and that 19q probably harbors a gene important for the pathogenesis of oligodendrogliomas.

Background. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) studies have been pivotal in identifying tumor suppressor genes involved in the pathogenesis of a number of cancers. In squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck region (SCCHN), LOH studies using the Southern blot technique are scarce. Methods. SCCHNs we

Among the chromosomal regions commonly undergoing deletions in breast tumors is 11q23.1. The genes that are targets for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in this region is not yet established. One of the candidate genes located in this region is ATM, responsible for the rare autosomal recessive disorder
