Genetic aspects of bone tumors
2015, Bone Cancer: Primary Bone Cancers and Bone Metastases: Second EditionIntegrated multimodal genetic testing of Ewing sarcoma - A single-institution experience
2013, Human PathologyCitation Excerpt :By combining all methods, diagnostic translocations of EWSR1 rearrangements were detected in 30 (93.8%) of 32 cases. ES histopathology and immunophenotypic features often overlap with other SRBCTs in pediatric patients [12], and therefore, cytogenetic testing [13] and molecular testing [10] are necessary for a definitive diagnosis. Conventional cytogenetic analysis for the detection of t(11;22) or t(21;22) translocations has been used traditionally in ES [14–16].
A t(17;22)(q21;q12) with partial ETV4 deletion in a soft tissue Ewing sarcoma
2012, Cancer GeneticsCitation Excerpt :In association with the t(17;22)(q21;q12), two deletions, located near the two breakpoints at 17q21 and 22q12, were identified by the SNP 6.0 array. Deletion of 22q12 has been described in 17 cases of EFT (2,19–24). This anomaly was observed in association with the t(11;22) or with a variant translocation.

2010, Bone CancerCytogenetic characterization of Ewing tumors with high-ploidy
2005, Cancer Genetics and CytogeneticsCitation Excerpt :Previously published cases show a trend towards a hypodiploid chromosome number. A review of 15 reported cases indicated a trend towards non-random gain of chromosomes 1, 2, 8, and 20 and non-random loss of chromosomes 10, 11, 13, and 17 [10–20], although there cannot be said to be a highly pronounced pattern of numerical events. The review would indicate that there is only partial overlap between the common events in this series and those previously reported.
