Abstract excerpt
Cytogenetically, a marker chromosome interpreted as i(12p) is present in most testicular tumors of germ cell origin. In this study, 22 patients with testicular germ-cell tumors were investigated by Southern blot hybridization to characterize changes in chromosome 12. In comparison with normal DNA, tumor DNA of 18 patients showed increased dosages of 12p accompanied by a comparable or smaller increase or no change...
