Chromosomal aberrations in nasopharyngeal carcinoma analyzed by comparative genomic hybridization
1 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
To investigate the genomic imbalances associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), we have performed chromosome analysis by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) on 51 tumors, including 25 primary and 26 recurrent tumors. The most common copy number increases occurred on chromosome arms 12p (59%), 1q (47%), 17q (47%), 11q (41%), and 12q (35%). The minimal overlapping regions were at 12p12-13, 1q21-22, 17q21,...
