| Abstract: | We describe new recurrent chromosome translocations (17;20) observed in 3 of 19 colorectal tumors. Two of them were identical: der(20)t(17;20)(q21;p12), resulting in the loss of 17(pter-->q21) and the third was a dicentric dic(17;20)(p11;p12). A similar dicentric was described previously in one tumor [1], but we report der(20)t(17;20)(q21;p12) for the first time. |
