Abstract
Cytogenetic analysis of a medulloblastoma revealed two abnormal cell lines of 48,XY, +8, +8, -14, +der(14)t(1;14)(q11;p11),i(17q) and 51,XY, +5, +6, +8, +8, -14 + 20, +der (14)t(1;14)(q11;p11),i(17q), + dmin. The finding of double minute chromosomes in some medulloblastomas has been associated with amplification of the c-myc or N-myc oncogenes. We were unable to detect gene amplification with these probes by Southern blot analysis.
