It is unclear whether ovarian borderline tumors (tumors of low malignant potential) are independent entities or whether they are part of a continuum of tumor progression that culminates in ovarian carcinoma. Little is known about genetic abnormalities in borderline tumors because of the difficulty o

Several nonrandom recurrent chromosomal changes are observed in uveal melanoma. Some of these abnormalities, e.g., loss of chromosome 3, gain of the q arm of chromosome 8, and chromosome 6 abnormalities, are of prognostic value. Cytogenetic analysis and/or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) a
Comprehensive information about the molecular cytogenetic changes in metastases of colorectal cancer is not yet available. To define such changes in metastases, we measured relative DNA sequence copy numbers by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). Samples from 27 liver metastases and 6 synchrono
Several techniques are commonly used for genetic analysis of interphase nuclei. Flow cytometry assays the distribution of DNA content in populations of nuclei stained with a DNA-specific fluorochrome. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) quantifies the number of copies of a specific DNA sequenc
The human myeloid leukemia cell line GF-D8 was established from the peripheral blood blasts of a patient with acute myeloid leukemia FAB subtype M1 (AML-M1). The karyotype, which has not changed significantly over several years of culture, was described initially as 44,XY,-5,del(7q),inv(7q),add(8q),
