Rearrangement of chromosomal region 8q11–13 in lipomatous tumours: correlation with lipoblastoma morphology

Abstract excerpt

Cytogenetics is of considerable value when diagnosing lipomatous tumours, as different tumour types have different more or less specific chromosomal abnormalities. One such entity is lipoblastoma, which is a benign lipomatous tumour that often exhibits rearrangements of chromosome bands 8q11-13, and the gene PLAG1 has been implicated as the target of these chromosomal changes. All lipomatous tumours karyotyped at...
