The structural basis of molecular genetic deletions. An integration of classical cytogenetic and molecular analyses in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Abstract excerpt

Molecular genetic alterations are known to be important in human carcinoma, but the structural basis of these changes is largely unknown. To examine the basis of these changes, we compared the karyotypic chromosomal abnormalities of primary pancreatic adenocarcinomas with the molecular changes identified in these same cancers. In 14 cancers with abnormal karyotypes, 65% (123 of 188) of the chromosomal arms with...
