i(12p)-negative testicular germ cell tumors. A different group?

Cancer Genet Cytogenet. 1988 Oct 15;35(2):171-8. doi: 10.1016/0165-4608(88)90239-7.

Abstract

Cytogenetic analysis was performed of three seminomas, two primary nonseminomas, and two mature residual teratomas following chemotherapy, all lacking i(12p). Testicular germ cell tumors without an i(12p) may represent a subgroup of germ cell tumors, also in their clinical course, compared with those having i(12p).
