Abstract
We analyzed cytogenetically blood cells and bone marrow cells from 20 neuroblastoma patients. Chromosome common fragile sites were induced by aphidicolin in normal peripheral blood lymphocytes. All neuroblastoma patients showed a higher increase of aberrations after aphidicolin treatment as compared to that found in normal controls. In some cases it was possible to correlate the increase of the expression of a specific fragile site, 1p32, with deletions in the same area in bone marrow cells.
