(Submitter supplied) aCGH was used to profile copy-number aberrations (CNA) in 64 glioblastoma specimen of patients treated within clinical trials. The data was used to identify changes in CNA which contribute to the aberrant of expression of HOX transcription factors. Our group had previously demonstrated that expression of HOX genes was associated with increased resistance to chemo-radiotherapy and worse outcome in GBM patients Keywords: Disease state comparison

(Submitter supplied) Clinically evident oral lesions, oral epithelial dysplasia, precede development of oral squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and are considered to transform to cancer by acquisition of genetic or epigenetic alterations. Here, we show that, +3q24-qter, -8pter-p23.1, +8q12-q24.2 and +20 are early events identifying two pathways to oral cancers that differ in clinical behavior. One or more of these copy number aberrations is present in the major subgroup (3q8pq20 subtype, 75-80% of lesions) that develops with chromosomal instability and risk for metastasis, while they are absent from the smaller and chromosomally stable non-3q8pq20 subgroup (20-25% of lesions) associated with low risk for metastasis. more...

(Submitter supplied) Amplifications, regions of focal high level copy number change, lead to overexpression of oncogenes or drug resistance genes in tumors. Their presence is often associated with poor prognosis; however the use of amplification as a mechanism for overexpression of a particular gene in tumors varies. To investigate the influence of genome position on propensity to amplify, we integrated a mutant form of DHFR into different positions in the human genome, challenged cells with methotrexate and then studied the genomic alterations arising in drug resistant cells. more...
