Cytogenetic and molecular genetic analyses have shown that a tumor-suppressor gene for human meningioma is located on the long arm of chromosome 22. Recently, somatic mutations of the NF2 gene have been identified in sporadic meningiomas. However, tumorigenesis of certain cases of meningioma cannot

## Abstract Cytogenetic and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) studies have shown that loss of one entire copy of chromosome 10 is a common genetic event in glioblastoma multiforme, the most malignant glial brain tumor in humans. In a search for submicroscopic deletions, we carried out
Little is known about the biology of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), also called small cell carcinoma of the skin. MCC has similarities with small cell lung cancer (SCLC): both are neuroendocrine malignancies with early metastasis t o distant sites and a poor prognosis. Small cell lung cancer biopsies
## Abstract We describe a 3βyearβold male with deletion of part of 6q. The karyotype was 46,XY,del(6q) in both lymphocytes and skin fibroblasts. The patient had: frontal bossing, epicanthal folds, broad nasal bridge, apparently lowβset and posteriorly angulated ears, micrognathia, cardiac defects,
