Abstract excerpt
The genotype of a tumor determines its biology and clinical behavior. The genetic alterations associated with the unique embryonal morphology of nonseminomatous subtypes of testicular germ cell tumors remain to be established. Using single nucleotide polymorphism microarray analysis, we found in all of the 15 nonseminomas analyzed, large-scale chromosomal homozygosities, most of which were not associated with...
