Abstract excerpt
Portions of chromosomes 1p and 19q, which are frequently deleted in oligodendrogliomas, are subject to genomic imprinting, suggesting that the putative tumor suppressor genes could be monoallelically expressed. The parental origins of 1p and 19q allele losses were determined in 6 cases of pure oligodendroglioma. An equilibrated parental loss (3 maternal and 3 paternal) was found for 1p deletions. In contrast, 19q...
