To extend the results of conventional cytogenetic analysis of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), we applied the new molecular cytogenetic method of comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), which enables the detection of chromosomal imbalances without the need for dividing cells.

β¦ Synopsis
A protocol for comparative genomic hybridization by use of nucleotides directly labeled with fluorochromes was used to map regions of deletion and amplification in ten glioma cell lines. The protocol greatly reduced experimental artifacts. W e detected several genetic aberrations, including whole chromosome loss and gain, partial loss and gain, possible isochromosome, and higher level DNA amplification. The most frequent losses (in order of frequency) occurred on chromosomes I 0, 18, I 3, I I, 9, I4,4, 6. I. and X. The most common gain occurred on chromosome 7. Several sites of previously known and unknown amplifications , . were observed. Genes Chromosom Cancer 1386-93 (1995).

## Abstract Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) has been widely used to detect copy number alterations in cancer and to identify regions containing candidate tumorβresponsible genes; however, gene expression changes have been described only in highly amplified regions (amplicons). To study the
By means of comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), we screened 58 primary gastric cancers for changes in copy number of DNA sequences. We detected frequent losses on Ip32-33 (21%), 3p21-23 (22%), 5q14-22 (36%), 6q16 (26%), 9p21-24 (22%), 16q (21%), 17p13 (48%), 18q11-21(33%), and 19(40%). Gains we
