Combined karyotyping, CGH and M‐FISH analysis allows detailed characterization of unidentified chromosomal rearrangements in Merkel cell carcinoma
26 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare aggressive neuroendocrine tumor of the skin. Cytogenetic studies have indicated that deletions and unbalanced translocations involving chromosome 1 short arm material occur in 40% of the investigated cases. Recurrent chromosomal imbalances detected by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis were loss of 3p, 10q, 13q and 17p and gains of 1q, 3q, 5p and 8q. In order to...
