We investigated chromosomal aberrations in 16 patients with astrocytic tumors of various histologic malignancies by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). The degree of chromosomal loss was shown to be negatively correlated with histologic malignancy. Losses of portions of chromosomes 1p, 19q and 22q were the three chromosomal aberrations observed most frequently. Alterations in multiple chromosomes were observed more frequently in glioblastomas than in astrocytomas or anaplastic astrocytomas (P < 0.001). Primary glioblastomas showed a high frequency of genomic DNA gains (5/7), whereas recurrent glioblastomas from anaplastic astrocytomas did not (0/3). We found CGH to be a powerful tool for surveying DNA alterations in tumors and characterizing the biology of tumors of astrocytic lineage.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D005909 Glioblastoma A malignant form of astrocytoma histologically characterized by pleomorphism of cells, nuclear atypia, microhemorrhage, and necrosis. They may arise in any region of the central nervous system, with a predilection for the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, and commissural pathways. Clinical presentation most frequently occurs in the fifth or sixth decade of life with focal neurologic signs or seizures.
