Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The -1p/-19q genotype has been associated with prolonged survival and chemosensitivity in oligodendroglial neoplasms, but the predictive and prognostic significance of genotype in the routine clinic is not established. METHODS: The authors investigated allelic imbalance in 1p36, 19q13, 17p13, 10p12-15, and 10q22-26 and p53 mutation in a cohort representative of clinical practice at their center (50...
