Genomic imbalances pinpoint potential oncogenes and tumor suppressors in Wilms tumors
24 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Wilms tumor (WT) has a not completely elucidated pathogenesis. DNA copy number alterations (CNAs) are common in cancer, and often define key pathogenic events. The aim of this work was to investigate CNAs in order to disclose new candidate genes for Wilms tumorigenesis. RESULTS: Array-CGH of 50 primary WTs without pre-chemotherapy revealed a few recurrent CNAs not previously reported, such as 7q and...
