2Abstract
The age distribution and incidence of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of 1p and 19q was analyzed in 85 oligodendroglial tumors WHO II and III. The peak of tumor manifestation was in the age group of 35 to 55 years. There was no association between age at diagnosis and LOH incidence. We conclude that the prognostic effect of age on survival is not mediated by LOH 1p/19q
