Chromosome banding analysis of 11 short-term cultured gallbladder carcinomas revealed acquired clonal aberrations in seven tumors (five primary and two metastases). Three of these had one clone, whereas the remaining four were cytogenetically heterogeneous, displaying two to seven aberrant clones. O

Twenty-nine nonendocrine pancreatic carcinomas (20 primary tumors and nine metastases) were studied by chromosome banding after short-term culture. Acquired clonal aberrations were found in 25 tumors and a detailed analysis of these revealed extensive cytogenetic intratumor heterogeneity. Apart from
In order to study the role of genetic factors in multiple sclerosis, cytogenetic analysis was performed on 48 patients with the clinically defined disease. We found a high incidence of subjects (50%) with abnormal chromosomes, showing premature centromere division of the X chromosome and structural
The molecular events involved in pancreatic cancer are becoming increasingly well characterized, with mutations in the dominant oncogene KRAS and the tumour suppressor genes TP53, CDKN2A and MADH4 being typically observed. However, other genetic abnormalities remain to be identified and molecular cy
