Hypomethylation of Chromosome 1 Heterochromatin DNA Correlates with q-Arm Copy Gain in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
Using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis, we, and others, have shown that there is a high and consistent incidence of chromosome 1q copy gain in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Chromosome 1 rearrangements, that involved peri-centromeric breakpoints, have also been frequently reported in karyotypic studies of HCC. Satellite DNA hypomethylation has been postulated as the mechanism underlying the...
