Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumours (AT/RT) are highly malignant embryonal tumours of the brain composed of rhabdoid cells. Inactivating mutations of the hSNF5/INI-1 gene located in the chromosomal region 22q11.2 are regarded as a crucial step in their molecular pathogenesis. Apart from monosomy or deletions of chromosome 22 not much data exists on additional chromosomal aberrations. METHODS: We...
