Chromosomal constitution of human spermatocytic seminomas: Comparative genomic hybridization supported by conventional and interphase cytogenetics

Abstract excerpt

No data on the chromosomal constitution of spermatocytic seminomas are available thus far because of their rarity. Ploidy analysis performed on paraffin-embedded cases showed varying results from (near-) diploid to aneuploid. We applied comparative genomic hybridization on four snap-frozen primary spermatocytic seminomas of three different patients. Conventional cytogenetic analysis was successful in one, and...
