Abstract
Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis is used to demonstrate that formation of the i(12p) chromosome, characteristic of testicular germ cell tumors, does not lead to loss of heterozygosity of various loci on the q arm of chromosome 12. This result suggests that during the etiology of these tumors, aneuploidization precedes the formation of the i(12p) marker chromosome.
