Published estimates of the length of the human X chromosome are unreliable because they are based on scanty linkage data and complex assumptions about the frequency and distribution of chiasmata in female meiosis. In recent months we have established linkage between restriction fragment length polym

✦ Synopsis
The absence of silver grain precipitation on human chromosome 17, consistently observed in four patients displaying the 17p variant, supports the hypothesis that the 17p variant is a structural heteromorphism rather than translocated satellite material.

The zygosity of 19 colorectal carcinomas (either near-diploid or polyploid) from patients known to be heterozygous for RFLPs located on chromosome 18 or on the short arm of chromosome 17 has been examined. In most cases, at least one allele was significantly under-represented. The reason for the abs
Isochromosomes are monocentric or dicentric chromosomes with homologous arms that are attached in a reverse configuration as mirror images. With an incidence of 3-4%, the i(17q) represents the most frequent isochromosome in human cancer. It is found in a variety of tumors, particularly in blast cris
## Abstract Acquisition of metastatic ability by prostate cancer cells is the hallmark of their lethal trait and outcome. However, the genetic alterations underlying the clinical progression and pathogenesis of prostate cancer are not well understood. Several studies involving loss of heterozygosit
