Detection of chromosomal imbalances in leiomyosarcoma by comparative genomic hybridization and interphase cytogenetics
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Leiomyosarcomas comprise a group of malignant soft-tissue tumors with smooth-muscle differentiation. In this study, 14 cases of leiomyosarcoma were screened for changes in relative chromosome copy number by comparative genomic hybridization. A high number of imbalances (mean, 16.3; range, 6-26) was detected, with chromosomal gains occurring about twice as much as losses. The most frequent gains were found in...
