Abstract excerpt
Gains of genetic material or internal rearrangements of chromosome 12p, including 12p overrepresentation or isochromosome 12p [i(12p)], are observed in virtually all germ cell tumors (GCT), in all histologic subtypes, and from various body locations. The chromosomal region involved in these alterations contains the growth and survival promoting oncogene KRAS (12p12.1). Gains or rearrangements of 12p characterize...
