✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Cell lines were established from fresh tumor biopsies from two Saudi patients with poorly differentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Cytogenetic analysis on Giemsa‐banded metaphase cells revealed complex, abnormal karyotypes in both patients with modal chromosome numbers of 77 and 52. A der(3)dup(3)(q25‐q2?7) or t(3;?)(q27;?) was observed in both cell lines. The rearrangements involving chromosomes X, 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 15, 17, and 22 in the first patient and 1, 6, and 22 in the second patient could represent clonal evolution.

Forty-four breast carcinomas were studied for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 25 microsatellite markers distributed almost evenly along chromosome arm 22q. LOH at at least one marker were observed in 66% tumors, while 6 regions of consistent LOH were identified. The size of each region ranged betwee
