Amplification at 9p in Cervical Carcinoma by Comparative Genomic Hybridization
نویسندگان
چکیده
DNA copy number changes were studied by comparative genomic hybridization on 10 tumor specimens of squamous cell carcinoma of cervix obtained from Korean patients. DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded sections after removal of non-malignant cells by microdissection technique. Copy number changes were found in 8/10 tumors. The most frequent changes were chromosome 19 gains (n=6) and losses on chromosomes 4 (n=4), 5 (n=3), and 3p (n=3). A novel finding was amplification in chromosome arm 9p21-pter in 2 cases. Gains in 1, 3q, 5p, 6p, 8q, 16p, 17, and 20q and losses at 2q, 6q, 8p, 9q, 10p, 11, 13, 16q, and 18q were observed in at least one of the cases.

Prognostic value of genomic alterations in invasive cervical squamous cell carcinoma of clinical stage IB detected by comparative genomic hybridization.
The clinical behavior of invasive cervical carcinoma of clinical stage IB varies considerably in tumors presenting without regional lymph node metastases. The early identification of patients at higher risk for poor outcome may prove useful because these patients would benefit from aggressive adjuvant treatments. In this study, comparative genomic hybridization was applied to evaluate whether g...
متن کاملDNA Gains and Losses of Chromosome in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Using Comparative Genomic Hybridization
PURPOSE A larynx squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the most common forms of cancer and may exhibit various complex karyotypes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to analyze DNA gains and losses in 15 squamous cell carcinomas that consisted of 4 glottic, 10 supraglottic, and 1 transglottic localization samples. RESULTS The majority of the chromosomal...

The clinical behavior of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cannot be pre dicted by histological and other markers. In this study, comparative genomic hybridization was used to evaluate whether the number of genomic aberrations has prognostic significance in 41 nonmetastatic clear cell RCC extending beyond the renal capsule. Losses were most prevalent at 3p (56%) and 9p and 13q (24% each). The number o...

Comparative genomic hybridization was applied for a comprehensive screening of frequently occurring net gains and losses of chromosomal subregions in small populations of CD30+ Hodgkin cells and their morphological variants. In 12 Hodgkin's lymphomas, recurrent gains were detected on chromosomal arms 2p, 9p, and 12q (in six, four, and five tumors, respectively) and distinct high-level amplifica...
