Frequent genomic imbalances suggest commonly altered tumour genes in human hepatocarcinogenesis

Abstract excerpt

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most frequent-occurring malignant tumours worldwide, but molecular changes of tumour DNA, with the exception of viral integrations and p53 mutations, are poorly understood. In order to search for common macro-imbalances of genomic tumour DNA, 21 HCCs and 3 HCC-cell lines were characterized by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), subsequent database analyses and in...
