Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUNDS: Intracranial germ cell tumors (GCTs) are rare and heterogeneous with very little is known about their pathogenesis and underlying genetic abnormalities. PROCEDURES: In order to identify candidate genes and pathways which are involved in the pathogenesis of these tumors, we have profiled 62 intracranial GCTs for DNA copy number alterations (CNAs) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) by using single...
