Mechanisms of Topoisomerase I (TOP1) Gene Copy Number Increase in a Stage III Colorectal Cancer Patient Cohort
5 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Topoisomerase I (Top1) is the target of Top1 inhibitor chemotherapy. The TOP1 gene, located at 20q12-q13.1, is frequently detected at elevated copy numbers in colorectal cancer (CRC). The present study explores the mechanism, frequency and prognostic impact of TOP1 gene aberrations in stage III CRC and how these can be detected by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). METHODS: Nine CRC cell line...
