It has recently been recognized that unbalanced translocations resulting in the gain of material from 17q are the most common chromosomal changes in neuroblastoma. These rearrangements are associated with established indicators of bad prognosis and poor patient survival. We have used 13 fluorescence

Deletions of chromosome arm 1p and amplification of the MYCN oncogene are well-recognized genetic changes in neuroblastoma cells. Technical difficulties in cytogenetic analysis of this tumour have hampered the recognition of other recurring abnormalities, but recent use of molecular cytogenetic tech
Translocation t(11;21)(q24;q11.2) is a rare but recurrent chromosomal abnormality associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that until now has not been characterized at the molecular level. We report here results of a molecular cytogenetic analysis of this translocation in a patient with refrac
