Translocation (6;16) in a case of granulosa cell tumor of the ovary.
We performed a cytogenetic study of an ovarian granulosa cell tumor (GCT). Tumor cells showed a translocation (6;16); the full karyotype was 45,XX-6,dic(6;16)(q11;q22)/44,XX,-6,-22,dic(6;16)(q11;q22),-22/46,XX,- 6,dic(6;16)(q11;q22), +dic(6;16)(q11;q22). This is the second case of GCT with structural changes of chromosome 6 leading to loss of 6q material.
