Allelic alterations in well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (carcinoid tumors) identified by genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism analysis and comparison with pancreatic endocrine tumors.

Abstract excerpt

Well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (WDNT, carcinoid tumors) are uncommon indolent neoplasms. The genetic alterations of these tumors are not well characterized. We used genome-wide high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis to detect copy number alterations in 29 WDNTs, including seven lung, seven nonileal gastrointestinal, and 15 ileal tumors, and compared with allelic imbalances in...
