Cytogenetic studies in small groups of patients with malignant peripheral-nerve-sheath tumors (MPNST) revealed complex karyotypes with no consistent changes. A computerassisted cytogenetic analysis using a cytogenetic database was performed to determine recurrent cytogenetic alterations in 51 MPNSTs

## Communicated by Riccardo Fodde About 10% of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients develop malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) and represent considerable patient morbidity and mortality. Elucidation of the genetic mechanisms by which inherited and acquired NF1 disease gene variant
Peripheral nerve sheath tumors arise either sporadically or in association with neurofibromatosis type 1 (von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis, NF1) or type 2. In this study, comprehensive screening for relative chromosome copy number changes was performed on 10 benign and 19 malignant peripheral
## Abstract Neurofibromatosis Type I (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the development of both benign and malignant tumors. The lifetime risk for developing a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) in NF1 patients is βΌ10% with poor survival rates. To date, the molecu
Neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF1) is associated with the growth of benign and malignant tumors. Approximately 15% of NF1 patients develop malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs), underlining the need to identify specific diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers associated with MPNST development. The
