✦ Synopsis

A deletion mapping analysis of chromosome 9 has been performed on a series of 75 samples derived from malignant gliomas.

A total of 27 tumors displayed different deletions for the loci studied (D9S1, NRASLI, D9S18, IFNA, and /FN6/). In most instances, losses involving the markers located on the short arm of chromosome 9 were observed, and only two samples were characterized by losses of the short and long arms. Either partial or complete homozygous deletions of IFN genes were observed in 15 cases, and 12 other samples showed hernizygous deletions for these genes. The results show that the 9p abnormalities are not exclusive to high-grade astrocytic tumors, as some low-grade samples (two astrocytomas grade II and six oligodendrogliomas) displayed this anomaly which, in a few instances, was the sole abnormality detected. Genes Chrorn Cancer 9 3 -4 1 (1994).

Uterine leiomyomas are benign tumors that arise clonally from smooth muscle cells of the myometrium. Cytogenetic studies of uterine leiomyomas have shown that about 40% have chromosome abnormalities and that deletion of 7q is a common finding. The observations suggest the possible location of a grow

## Abstract Recurrent deletions of chromosome fragments observed in neoplasms are thought to participate in tumor development through the inactivation of tumor‐suppressor genes. In gliomas, the most frequent deletions involve chromosome arms 9p, 10q, 17p, 19q and 22q. We have analysed deletions of
