Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare cartilaginous tumor of bone. It typically presents in the long tubular bones and to a lesser extent in the small bones of the hands and feet of young adults. To date, several cytogenetic abnormalities have been described in association with CMF. We studied a phalangeal CMF from a 13-year-old female by cytogenetic methods. We found a novel unbalanced translocation between the long arms of chromosomes 1 and 9, resulting in loss of 1p. In addition, rearrangements involving the 6q23 and 9q22 regions were also observed. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature describing this novel chromosomal translocation in CMF.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is characterized by 11q13 chromosomal translocation and CCND1 overexpression, but additional genomic changes are also important for lymphomagenesis. To identify the genomic aberrations of MCL at higher resolutions, we analysed 29 patient samples and seven cell lines using array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) consisting of 2348 artificial chromosome clones, which cover the whole genome at a 1.3 mega base resolution.

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was used to evaluate tissue specimens from 16 seminomas in order to elucidate the pathogenesis of germ cell tumours in males. A characteristic pattern of losses and gains within the entire genomes was detected in 94% of the seminomas by comparing the ratio profiles of the tumours with a standard of cytogenetically normal genomic DNA. Losses represented 43% of the total number of alterations often affecting chromosomes and chromosome arms 4, 5, 11, 13q, and 18q.
