High-Resolution DNA Copy Number Profiling of Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors Using Targeted Microarray-Based Comparative Genomic Hybridization
15 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant condition that predisposes to benign and malignant tumors. The lifetime risk of a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) in NF1 is approximately 10%. These tumors have a poor survival rate and their molecular basis remains unclear. We report the first comprehensive investigation of DNA copy number across multitude of genes in NF1 tumors...
