## Abstract Loss of heterozygosity and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies have shown that deletions of 1p and 19q are highly prevalent in oligodendroglioma. However, these tumors have not been comprehensively screened for other alterations in chromosomal dosage. In this study, we use
Follicular thyroid tumors vary from adenomas to widely invasive carcinomas, and a stepwise progression from normal thyrocyte to malignant tumor has been suggested to be due to an accumulation of genetic alterations. We have used comparative genomic hybridization to screen 21 follicular thyroid tumor
Familial occurrence of gliomas, in the absence of well-defined hereditary multisystem disorders, is reported occasionally. We describe 17 families that have been afflicted with two or more gliomas but do not raise suspicion of other inheritable syndromes. The families were identified among 369 conse
