โฆ Synopsis
Cytogenetic analyses of three patients during autopsy who had a pathologic diagnosis of malignant histiocytosis and of one patient who was strongly suspected to have malignant histiocytosis because of her clinical and hematologic findings were done. All three patients studied with bone marrow specimens showed polyploidy (3.4-20%). Two of three patients with chromosomal abnormalities showed 17p' markers with a breakpoint at 17~13. Seven of 22 previously reported malignant histiocytosis patients (32%) with descriptions of detailed whole karyotypes have the 17p' markers, including two of the authors' patients. Five of seven patients with 17p+ involved 17~13. Although breakpoints at the 17p' in the remaining two were not described, their karyotypes were shown to possibly involve 17~13. The high incidence of this abnormality is not considered accidental, and this breakpoint is not usual in many other neoplastic disorders. These facts may indicate that 1 7 ~1 3 chromosome abnormality is a specific change of malignant histiocytosis. Cancer 652689-2696,1990.

Malignant histiocytosis (MH) is a distinct disease entity defined clinically and morphologically. However, the neoplastic origin of MH is not well established. The authors report a 26-year-old woman who showed the typical clinicopathologic features of so-called MH. Cytogenetic and molecular genetic
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
## Short -term cultures of three hepatoblastomas were analyzed cytogenetically. Trisomy 2, trisomy 20, and a deletion of I7p were found as the sole abnormalities, yielding the karyotypes 47,XY, + 2 47,XX, + 20; and 46,XX,del( I7)(p I2)/46,XX. This is the first reported case of deletion of 17p as t
## Abstract We developed single copy probes from the draft genome sequence for fluorescence in situ hybridization (scFISH) which precisely delineate chromosome abnormalities at a resolution equivalent to genomic Southern analysis. This study illustrates how scFISH probes detect cryptic and subtle a
Background. Colorectal cancers often show allelic loss of chromosomes 5q and 17p, regions where the tumor suppressor genes p53 and adenomatous polyposis coli are known to reside. Currently, the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes and the activation of oncogenes are considered major events involve
