Chromosomal aberrations in colorectal cancers and liver metastases analyzed by comparative genomic hybridization

Abstract excerpt

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was used to screen for changes in the number of DNA sequence copies in 30 primary colorectal cancers and 16 liver metastases, to identify regions that contain genes important for the development and progression of colorectal cancer. In primary colorectal cancer, we found frequent gains at 7p21 (36.7%), 7q31-36 (30%), 8q23-24 (43.0%), 12p (30%), 14q24-32 (33.3%), 16p...
