Array-Based Comparative Genomic Hybridization Identifies <i>CDK4</i> and <i>FOXM1</i> Alterations as Independent Predictors of Survival in Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are highly aggressive sarcomas with variable patient survival and few known prognostically relevant genomic biomarkers. To identify survival-associated genomic biomarkers, we performed high-resolution array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) on a large set of MPNSTs. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Candidate gene alterations identified by aCGH in 38...
