Cytogenetics and molecular genetics of bone and soft-tissue tumors

Am J Med Genet. 2002 Oct 30;115(3):189-93. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.10691.

Abstract

The cytogenetic and molecular findings in bone and soft-tissue sarcomas are summarized. A table presenting all such tumors, with their specific translocations and the genes involved, is included, along with a list of those tumors that most likely result from a stepwise process of numerous genetic changes.
