Genomic Analysis of Pilocytic Astrocytomas at 0.97 Mb Resolution Shows an Increasing Tendency Toward Chromosomal Copy Number Change With Age
1 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors of childhood, accounting for over 20% of cancers in children under 15 years of age. Pilocytic astrocytomas (PAs), World Health Organization grade I, are one of the most frequently occurring childhood brain tumors, yet little is known about genetic changes characterizing this entity. We have used microarray comparative genomic hybridization at 0.97 Mb resolution to...
