Childhood endodermal sinus tumors (CESTs) are a unique category of germ cell tumors involving the testis and extragonadal region in children leu than 4 years of age. Recent studies of CEST have shown recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities involving the short arm of chromosome I, most commonly, a deleti

Deletions in the short arm of chromosome 3 have long been known to be common in many tumor types, including carcinomas of the lung and kidney. Small interstitial deletions of the proximal-central region of 3p, with band 3p14 as a minimal common deleted segment, have recently been shown to occur in a
We undertook a cytogenetic analysis of 29 human brain tumors using double-target fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and focusing on chromosome arm I p. One or more tumor suppressor genes in this arm have been suggested t o be important in a variety of neuroectodermal tumors. The series includ
A de novo chromosome aberration in a woman with severe mental retardation and minor anomalies has been characterized cytogenetically. The patient's karyotype was described as 46, XX, inv dup (8)(p12 + p23.1). Previous Southern blot dosage studies with the marker locus D8S7 demonstrated that the pati
