Abstract excerpt
The first gene found to be amplified in human glioblastomas was EGFR at 7p12. More recently the MET gene at 7q31 was also reported amplified. We have studied chromosome 7 in a series of 47 glioblastomas by FISH, RFLP and microsatellite analysis. Four per cent (2/47) had 1 centromere, 26% (12/47)...
