i(17q)
| AGCOH |
Isochromosome 17q, or i(17q), is one of the most common structural abnormalities observed in human neoplasms.
Tumors
hematologic malignancies
- myeloproliferative/myelodysplastic diseases (MPD/MDS)
- testicular granulocytic sarcoma (#18262059#)
medulloblastoma (most frequent chromosomal rearrangement) (#16419060#)
- desmoplastic medulloblastoma
- Isochromosome 17q is a negative prognostic factor in poor-risk childhood medulloblastoma patients. (#16000568#)
As sole cytogenetic aberration
i(17q) as sole cytogenetic aberration represents only 1% of cases in myeloid malignancies.
