Recently, we reported a new amplification event that involves marker D17S67 in 17p12 in three malignant astrocytomas of patients with a very short survival. The amplified region may contain an oncogene implicated in astrocytoma tumorigenesis. To determine the extent of the amplified regions, we cons

## Abstract Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) for chromosome arms 9p, 10p, 10q, and 17p and amplification of the epidermal growth factor receptor (__EGFR__) gene have been identified as frequent genetic changes in malignant astrocytomas. We have found amplification of the anonymous marker D17S67 on chro
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a highly malignant bone neoplasm of children and young adults. It is characterized by chaotic karyotypes with complex marker chromosomes. We applied a combination of molecular cytogenetic techniques including comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), spectral karyotyping (SKY), a
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome arm 17p is the most common genetic aberration in childhood primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs). To determine the frequency and extent of 17p deletions, 29 loci on 17p were investigated in 24 tumors by using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFL
