Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: An isochromosome for the short arm of chromosome 12, i(12p), is the most common and characteristic cytogenetic aberration in testicular germ cell tumors. Little is known about the molecular genetic abnormalities of these neoplasms. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A total of 32 loci were studied...
