Abstract excerpt
It is well established that the combined del(1)(p36) and del(19)(q13) is a positive prognostic molecular event in oligodendroglial tumors. However, very little is known about the frequency or impact of polysomy status for chromosomes 1/19. We examined 84consecutive pure oligodendrogliomas (68 World Health Organization [WHO] grade II and 16 WHO grade III) and analyzed them for del(1)(p36) and del(19)(q13) by...
