Abstract excerpt
Simultaneous labelling of 17cen and the p53 locus by multicolour FISH was used to monitor radioactive iodine-induced structural and numerical chromosome abnormalities in buccal cells from 29 hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer patients sampled before and after therapeutic treatment. This novel methodology allowed the efficient detection of 17p deletions leading to p53 allelic deletions, 17p gains and whole...
