title: Cytogenetic t(11;17)(q13;q21) in a pediatric ependymoma. Is 11q13 a recurring breakpoint in ependymomas?
abstract: Cytogenetic studies on a supratentorial ependymoma from a 1-year-old boy showed a t(11;17)(q13;q21). This is the second ependymoma reported with a rearrangement at 11q13; to our knowledge the 11q13 is the first recurring breakpoint reported in ependymoma.
