## Abstract We present molecular data to demonstrate that the isochromosome 12p, specific for human germ cell tumors (GCTs), is of uniparental origin. Eight GCTβderived cell lines, containing one or more copies of i(12p) and/or other 12p anomalies, were analyzed with different 12pβderived polymorph

## Abstract Previous studies have demonstrated biallelic expression of the imprinted genes __H19__ and __IGF2__ and loss of DNA methylation of the __SNRPN__ gene, indicating a common precursor cell of human germ cell tumors (GCTs), namely, the primordial germ cell (PGC). In this study, we applied t
## Matilde Relda C a i l l e a ~, ~ and T. C. Hsu'l2 Previous cytogenetic studies have shown that marker chromosomes thought to be unique to the human carcinoma cell line HeLa exist in some human breast tumors, but these studies have not found such markers in human cervical carcinoma lines. The p
