Abstract excerpt
Allelic imbalances are common events in cancer cells. Quantitative alterations in specific chromosomal loci have been linked to activation (gain) or inactivation (loss) of genes with a proven impact on tumor cell biology. The aim of this study was to detect new chromosomal regions recurrently altered in colorectal tumorigenesis and with a potential effect on patient's outcome. We have analyzed a series of human...
