Brain gliomas represent a heterogeneous group of tumors of various histological subtypes which differ according to their response to treatment and prognosis. Tumors created from astrocytes and oligodendrocytes occur most often. Histological classification of gliomas is often subjective, as well as their treatment today is still problematic. The aim of this diploma thesis was to carry out a detailed molecular cytogenetic analysis of the genome of tumor cells in patients with histologically confirmed brain gliomas of different subtypes and stages of malignancy, look for recurrent aberration-specific subtypes and assess their potential role in the development and progression of cancer. To observation specific frequency known aberrations in different subtypes of brain tumors, we used the method of interphase FISH (I-FISH) with a panel of specific locus and / or centromeric DNA probes. The whole genome analysis and detection of cryptic unbalanced changes in the genome of tumor cells, we used the method of SNP array. Combining methods I- FISH and SNP array was detected not only the known chromosomal changes that are typical of the different subtypes of tumors, but also new or uncommon recurrent aberrations. In patients with low-grade gliomas are the most commonly observed acquired UPD (aUPD) on the short...
