Multiple chromosome rearrangements in a childhood ependymoma

Cancer Genet Cytogenet. 1988 Nov;36(1):25-30. doi: 10.1016/0165-4608(88)90071-4.

Abstract

Multiple karyotypically abnormal cell lines were observed in long-term cultures of an ependymoma of the fourth ventricle of a child. A previous report of a G-banded ependymoma karyotype described monosomy 8, trisomy 9, t(1;7)(p12;p13), and t(X;10)(q22-23;q24). This case also shows involvement of Xq22 and 10q24.
