The i( I2p) chromosome has been shown to characterize more than 80% of male germ cell tumors (GCTs) and is an important diagnostic marker. Although recent cytogenetic analyses of GCTs have defined nonrandom chromosome abnormalities in these tumors, no attempt has so far been made to compare i( I2p)-

We report karyotypic analysis of 24 male germ cell tumors (GCTs) with clonally abnormal karyotypes biopsied from testicular and extragonadal lesions from 20 patients belonging t o the histologic categories seminoma, teratoma, embryonal carcinoma. choriocarcinoma, and endodermal sinus tumor.

Cytogenetic investigation of a malignant ovarian tumor diagnosed as a mixed germ-cell tumor, composed of extensive choriocarcinoma and foci of yolk-sac tumor, revealed a highly abnormal chromosomal pattern. We found a chromosome number in the hypertriploid/hypotetraploid range, and several clonal st
## Abstract A variety of __in vivo__ mammalian test models are available for screening of chemicals for mutagenicity at the chromosomal level. These models have been grouped into those focusing on somatic cell effects and those dealing with germ cell effects. An analysis of available literature ind
