Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Copy number gains and amplifications are characteristic feature of cervical cancer (CC) genomes for which the underlying mechanisms are unclear. These changes may possess oncogenic properties by deregulating tumor-related genes. Gain of short arm of chromosome 5 (5p) is the most frequent karyotypic change in CC. METHODS: To examine the role of 5p gain, we performed a combination of single nucleotide...
