Chromosome aberrations in fibrous dysplasia

Cancer Genet Cytogenet. 1994 Oct 15;77(2):114-7. doi: 10.1016/0165-4608(94)90225-9.

Abstract

We report the cytogenetic findings of two cases of fibrous dysplasia, one occurring in the tibia, the other in the sphenoid. Both cases exhibited only one chromosome change: a t(6;11)(q15;p15) in the first case, a derivative chromosome 2 in the second. The previous cytogenetic report on fibrous dysplasia revealed only numerical changes. The significance of these inconsistent chromosomal findings in fibrous dysplasia is unclear.
