PARISI, M.D., JULIE CUNNINGHAM, Ph.D., KERRY D.

2 Fig. 1 A, Medulloblastoma. Original biopsy specimen of 27-year-old man, showing leptomeningeal infiltration (top) and Virchow-Robin space involvement (right). (Hematoxylineosin; X160.) B, Immunostain for synaptophysin, demonstrating diffuse cytoplasmic positivity and accentuation of staining in scattered cells. (x250.)

3 Fig. 2 Representative GTC-banded (with Giemsa, trypsin, and Leishman's stain) karyotype from second surgical specimen: 71,XXY,+Y,+Y,−2,–3,–4,+5,der(5)t(5;?)(q11.2;?),–8)–9,–10,–11,der(12)t(12;?)(p13;?),–13,t(?15;16)(q13;p13.1),der(16)t(16;?)(q13;?),+16,+17,der(17)t(17;?)(p11.2;?),der(17)t(17;?)(p11.2;?),der(18)t(18;?)(q12.2;?),+20,–22,+5mar. Insert demonstrates chromosome 17 from two additional metaphase cells. Left two chromosomes are abnormal.

4 Fig. 3 A, Rearrangement of c-myc. Serial dilutions of DNA from control subject (control) and from second tumor specimen (patient) were digested with EcoRI and probed for 5′ end of c-myc. Germline bands of 12.5 kb are present in all lanes. New band of 2.3 kb is observed in tumor DNA. B, Amplification of N-myc. DNA from control subject (control) and from second tumor specimen (undiluted and diluted 1 to 30) were digested with EcoRI and probed for N-myc. Densitometry of diluted specimen gave relative N-myc amplification value of 165-fold.

5 Fig. 4 Sequence of intron 6-exon 7 boundary of p53 gene. Upper sequence is wild-type p53 sequence. Lower sequence is that of second tumor specimen. See text for description of results.
