Abstract excerpt
Rhabdomyosarcomas are characterized by loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chromosome region 11p15.5, a region known to contain several imprinted genes including insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2), H19, and p57(KIP2). We analyzed 48 primary tumour samples and found distinct genetic changes at 11p15.5 in alveolar and embryonal histological subtypes. LOH was a feature of embryonal tumours, but at a lower frequency...
