Abstract excerpt
The loss of genetic material from specific chromosomal locations in a given tumor type has been taken for evidence of the importance of tumor suppressor genes at these loci in the genesis of the tumor. The primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the central nervous system has such a loss on 17p in one...
