Abstract excerpt
In this study we sought to identify specific cytogenetic defects associated with the metastatic phenotypes in clones isolated from the parental K-1735 murine melanoma. All nonmetastatic clones (C-3, C-10, and C-19) exhibited trisomy of chromosomes 1, 3, 12, and 15. The only structural defect present in these clones was an interstitial deletion in a chromosome 4. In contrast, the highly metastatic clones (C-4,...
