A 3q+ marker chromosome in EBV-carrying nasopharyngeal carcinomas.
The malignant epithelial cells of two anaplastic EBV-carrying nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPC) were investigated cytogenetically by Giemsa banding technique. Both tumors had a similar 3q+ marker chromosome with an involvement of band q25, either a duplication of the region q25-q27, or insertion of an unidentified segment at band q25.
