Abstract excerpt
Array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) is useful to assess genome-wide chromosomal imbalance, but the requirement for relatively large amounts of DNA can be a limitation, in particular for samples extracted from small tumor areas on paraffin sections. Whole genome amplification (WGA) can be performed before array CGH to obtain sufficient DNA, but the possibility of artifacts attributable to biased...
