Abstract
In this study, 35 glial tumors diagnosed by CT, MR and histopathologically, were investigated for chromosomal aberration by caryotip analysis on tumor culture. In addition, p53 gene mutation was investigated by FISH techniqe on 6 glial tumors. l7p deletion was found on 21 cases. Besides monosomi was shown on chromosome 22, 10 and 9.P53 gene mutation was found by FISH tecnique on 4 of 6 glial tumor.
