Abstract excerpt
Ependymomas are glial cell-derived tumors. They are, in contrast to other gliomas (astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and oligoastrocytomas), ill-defined with respect to the genes and chromosomal segments important in their tumorigenesis. In this study, we extensively screened 17 ependymomas for genetic changes characteristic of other gliomas. Allelic loss was detected on chromosome arm 22q in three tumors; on...
