Numerical chromosome aberrations are present within the CD30+ Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells in 100% of analyzed cases of Hodgkin's disease [see comments]
15 Aug 1995
Abstract excerpt
In Hodgkin's disease, cytogenetically aberrant clones have been demonstrated in a minority of cases studied. In the remaining cases, only normal metaphases have been found, but it is questionable whether normal karyotypes actually correspond to the pathognomonic Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells. Numerical aberrations could be studied by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). However, in Hodgkin's...
