Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Medulloblastoma represents a common primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the cerebellum, the molecular pathogenesis of which has not been identified. Previous cytogenetic observations disclosed aberrations of chromosome 1 and 17 in medulloblastomas. In the present study, we have molecularly characterized the affected chromosomal segments. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A panel of microsatellites on chromosomes 1...
