## Abstract The genetic hallmark of retinoblastoma is mutation or deletion of the __RB1__ gene, whereas other genetic alterations that are also required are largely unknown. To screen for genomic imbalances on a genomewide level, we studied a series of 17 primary retinoblastomas by matrixβbased com

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
Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) has been used widely for the molecular cytogenetic analysis of tumors. Until now, the spatial resolution of this technique for diagnosing deletions of chromosomal sequences has not been assessed in detail. In the present study, we performed CGH analyses on fiv
